Don't worry, there's usually not a single way to do things, and your proposals will probably be as good as mine.

That's an option, but to prevent problems I tend not to rerun it unless I have patched the autotools source, which wasn't needed here. If you want to rerun it, it would be OK too. Except in some cases, there are usually no big problems. > * Last, there seems to be dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig and > dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig to copy the config.* files.

I've never tried them, but feel free to use them if you want :) > Cheers, > Bertrand Greetings, Miry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
