It is a **bug**. Nothing in the package uses config.sub and config.guess at ALL. The rules file should not be adding them. This is not "just a matter of taste". So, severity minor it is. You don't add useless cruft to a package just for the heck of it, and a bug is a bug is a bug. Even when it is a harmless buglet (thus, "minor" and not "normal"). The maintainer can tag this wontfix if he is in love with shipping config.sub and config.guess in the diffs even when the package doesn't even use it, but somehow I very much doubt that. Likely, the package used to need it and doesn't anymore. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
