[beware, yet another "this package has been unmaintained for long post] What's up with the automake packages? Since aj reverted the automake 1.5 upload and added automake1.5, there haven't been any maintainer uploads (at least for 1.5), and the bugs at the bts have been piling up, including some nasty ones. automake 1.6x was released long ago, but we don't have it packaged still, and this is holding the updates for some other packages, including libgcrypt 1.1.7, which is needed by gnutls 0.4.x, which is needed by newer mutt-gnutls patches and wmbiff, just to name the case that affects me. So, is the maintainer interested in updating these, or should someone else takeover? (I'm not volunteering, though, but I guess there would be plenty of takers). How handle automake now that Woody is frozen is another question. Will automake get back to being the latest version? I guess it's the right moment to break things in unstable.
