Severity: normal

Hi Joy,

The "outdated-autotools-helper-file config.{guess,sub}" warning is
invalid for packages built using CDBS as it will update those files
during the build when autotools.mk is invoked. To avoid bloating the
diff, CDBS will restore the original & outdated files before generating
the diff.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
