Dear maintainer,

This bug has been pending for some time, and needs fixing for new
ports, including arm64 which is building now:
(http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=arm64&suite=sid).

So I've prepared an NMU for scrub (versioned as 2.5.2-2.1) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/7. Please feel free to tell me if I should
delay it longer.

Discussion on debian-devel revealed consensus that the right way to
ensure successful builds on all new architectures was to autoreconf
packages, however this package does not autoreconf cleanly (it needs
its configure.ac macros updating) so the simpler dh_autotools-dev
updating of config.{sub,guess} has been used.  (Discussion at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00383.html, thread
starting at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00342.html

As you can see this results is a very clean patch.

Regards.
