This was introduced in the intrepid release cycle with libtool(2.2.4-0ubuntu1):
* New upstream release:
- Fixes a number of small bugs and improves the reliability and
usability of libtoolize.
I ran into this issue when trying to build openldap and discuss it on
ubuntu-devel on August 01 [1]:
[00:26] <mathiaz> is it normal that libtoolize --copy --force deletes
config.{sub,guess} but doesn't restore them ?
[00:26] <slangasek> not traditionally, but who knows with the new
libtool :)
[00:26] <mathiaz> slangasek: I'm running into this problem when trying
to build openldap on intrepid
[00:26] <mathiaz> slangasek: config.{sub,guess} are copied before
autogen.sh is run, and then the build fails
[00:27] <slangasek> that really sounds like a libtool bug to me, then
[00:41] <cjwatson> mathiaz: try adding --install
[00:51] <mathiaz> cjwatson: thanks - works well now :)
[02:58] <__keybuk> mathiaz: probably a bug? try --install
[02:59] <__keybuk> ah yes
[02:59] <__keybuk> don't use --force without --install ;)
[02:59] <__keybuk> it won't do what you think

Even though openldap doesn't use cdbs I was trying to build another
package that used cdbs and run into the same issue, thus the cdbs
upload.
