(The source being the configure.ac and Makefile.am files.) Did you consider using dh-autoreconf or dh --with autotools_dev? As far as I know from reading the documentation using dh-autoreconf and dh --with autotools_dev update only the config.sub and config.guess files if they exist. The 'time' package does not use either of the config.sub or config.guess files and neither exist in the package. Therefore AFAIK calling dh_autotools_dev would be a noop. I was basically following Option 1 from the autotools-dev README file. I would have used dh_autoreconf but I didn't know how to force it to be run in the dh system. But digging more into it and searching the web I now find that there is a 'dh $@ --with autoreconf' option. Maybe that was the option you were thinking of but your fingers typed in the other one by mistake? Probably. In any case if that works then that is most desirable. I will explore that technique. (Time passes...) That seems to work. Adding the build dependencies needed for it and converting to using that recipe. Addenda, taken from lintian output after build: I: time source: debian-watch-file-is-missing is it possible to add it? does it make sense for a GNU project?

Bug#675532: RFS: bilibop/0.1 (ITP #675467)
Hi, quid...@poivron.org wrote (16 Jun 2012 00:52:22 GMT) : http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bilibop/bilibop_0.3.0.dsc Hopefully, I'll review this before the end of the month. Other potential sponsors: if you can be faster than me, please do. So, I don't understand the interest/benefit to build a non-native source package that would be used only on Debian. The only benefit, and the reason why I mentionned this as a possibility, would be to have a way to differentiate, in the version numbers, new releases that only change the packaging, from releases that change things deeper. All this because you seemed to be reluctant to increase the version number for minor changes in debian/control and stuff. But I don't care, really. Both native and non-native would do. Surely it is entirely possible, but I don't think everything possible must be done. Obviously.

Bug#678069: RFS: libquantum/1.1.0-2 [QA] -- library for the simulation of a quantum computer
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Hi,
(Please Cc me in replies, I am not subscribed to debian-science mailing list)
I am looking for a sponsor for the package libquantum.
It builds those binary packages:
libquantum-dev - library for the simulation of a quantum computer
(development files)
libquantum7 - library for the simulation of a quantum computer
To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/libquantum
Direct link for download:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libq/libquantum/libquantum_1.1.0-2.dsc
Changes in the package:
libquantum (1.1.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
* QA upload.
* Set maintainer to Debian QA Group (see #674883).
* Deleted Vcs-* fields from debian/control.
* Package was switched to source format 3.0 (quilt).
* Added build dependency from autotools-dev.
* Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
* debian/rules was updated:
- now dh is used instead of direct dh_* commands
- used hardening flags in compiler options
- added section get-orig-source (uscan is used)
- fixed FTBFS because of outdated config.{sub,guess} (Closes: #572527)
* Fixed such lintian errors, warnings and wishes:
+ libquantum source:
- binary-control-field-duplicates-source field section in package
libquantum7
- duplicate-short-description libquantum-dev libquantum7
- outdated-autotools-helper-file config.sub 2004-11-30
- outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2004-11-12
- debhelper-but-no-misc-depends libquantum-dev
- debhelper-but-no-misc-depends libquantum7
- missing-debian-source-format
- debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch
- debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep
- ancient-standards-version 3.8.1 (current is 3.9.3)
+ libquantum7:
- hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/libquantum.so.7.0.0
+ libquantum-dev:
- non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file usr/lib/libquantum.la
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Also I need DD's help to create git repository for this package in collab-maint.
I followed instructions from [1] and sent the request to join. Now I am waiting
for reply.
Best regards,
Boris

Re: Bug#675873: RFS: pam-shield/0.9.6-1 [ITA]
Dear mentors-- I'm not sure if the etiquette for nag requests has been sorted out given the move of RFS to the bug tracker, but I submitted this RFS two weeks ago and have not received so much as a nibble. If anyone is able to devote some time to reviewing this upload, I would appreciate it and I believe users would as well. It closes out five bugs, adopts the package, brings it up to current standards and debhelper versions, and is lintian-clean.
