Description-en: Update infrastructure for config.{guess,sub} files
This package installs an up-to-date version of config.guess and
config.sub, used by the automake and libtool packages. It provides
the canonical copy of those files for other packages as well.
.
It also documents in /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz
best practices and guidelines for using autoconf, automake and
friends on Debian packages. This is a must-read for any developers
packaging software that uses the GNU autotools, or GNU gettext.
.
Additionally this package provides seamless integration into Debhelper
or CDBS, allowing maintainers to easily update config.{guess,sub} files
in their packages.
