Deprecated: dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig and dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig are deprecated and replaced by dh_update_autotools_config(1) and dh_clean(1) from debhelper. Please replace all uses of dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig with dh_update_autotools_config and then remove any use of dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig.

dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig replaces all occurances of config.sub and config.guess in the source tree by the up-to-date versions found in the autotools-dev package. The original files are backed up under the names config.sub.dh-orig and config.guess.dh-orig.

dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig is usually called indirectly in a rules file via the dh command.

                ./configure
                $(MAKE)
