Hi,

I can see how the tag name might confuse you.

The tag is about "config scripts" like pkg-config (e.g. "pkg-config
--cflags libfoo") and has nothing to do with config files or conffiles.

This problem persists exactly because the package is Multi-Arch:
foreign, because it complicates cross-building.  In case of a
cross-build, the sane-config script need to report the paths to the HOST
system and not the BUILD system.

Thanks,
~Niels
