We need a bit more than this patch, as this source package contains
multiple copies of config.guess and config.sub which all need to be
updated.  Rather than adding an even larger manual patch, I recommend
using the autotools-dev dh addon, which deals with this more compactly.

  * Use the autotools-dev dh addon to update all our copies of config.guess
    and config.sub.
