Dear Maintainer,

The isc-dhcp package has a ftbfs issue on riscv64:

```
...
UNAME_MACHINE = riscv64
UNAME_RELEASE = 5.17.0-1-riscv64
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP Debian 5.17.3-1 (2022-04-18)
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
make[3]: *** [Makefile:42: bind1] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/bind'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:463: all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:48: override_dh_auto_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/rules:40: build-arch] Error 2
...
```

The full buildd log is here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=isc-dhcp&arch=riscv64&ver=4.4.3-1&stamp=1651855032&raw=0

The attach patch is ok on my localy riscv64 hardware board.

But I am not sure this patch is right or not to fix the issue although
read through here:

BR,
Bo

I don't think this is the best way to fix this issue.

dh_autoreconf should already be being run automatically before
dh_auto_configure and according to the build log it is and config.guess
and config.sub are already be updated before the autoreconf because
dh_update_autotools_config already runs first.

The problem is that there is a config.guess inside of bind/bind.tar.gz
in the isc-dhcp source package and the build process unpacks it after
dh_update_autotools_config and dh_autoreconf are run.

I think the right thing to do would be to unpack bind/bind.tar.gz
manually before dh_update_autotools_config runs. It looks like the
upstream Makefile will cope with that. Probably should also make
dh_autoreconf rebuild things in the unpacked bind dir too.

Since isc-dhcp is orphaned upstream, perhaps removing it from Debian is
the right solution. There was a thread about that on debian-devel:
