I don't think db_signature check should run for DEB_STAGE=stage1 builds, since the signature will be different.
Or alternatively one should cache (include in the source package) the expected DEB_STAGE=stage1 db_signature.

Colin just uploaded a change to use autotools-dev helper, it's a pre-decessor to dh_autoreconf which only finds and updates all config.sub|guess files. dh_autoreconf is failing for me as well, but I don't want to dig into and fix their autoconf macros but autotools-dev is all we need.

db seems to include slqlite3 in it's sources and to correctly build it needs tcl8.4:native available to do the amalgamation. [1] But we don't have :native build-dep support yet. So instead of adding sqlite3 build-dep, you can manually install tcl8.4:native (i hope higher versions also work)

I'll upload the rest of the cross-building fixes and add comments about tcl8.4 into the debian/control file.
