Yes, converted packages would be rejected by dak at the moment.

On stable, this file says something that is no more accurate indeed. I
filed a bug report to get this updated...

AFAIK it's recommended to get always the latest build machinery but
it's not mandatory... usually it's the work of upstream to keep it updated

You might want to avoid doing this twice... so only do it if
config.sub.upstream does not exist. Same for config.guess.
