Hi Andreas,

I had the same issue on one of my packages a while back, so I might be
able to give same help here.

No, it is not. You either need to call autoreconf to update the files
(and all other autofoo) or you can simply copy the most recent versions
of config.{sub,guess} from that package, overriding upstreams. This is
usually safe. You can see /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz
for more ways to handle that.

Best regards
Manuel
