Bug#648581: Please stop depending on automake1.7

[Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>]

Package: dots
Severity: wishlist

Per http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/10/msg00373.html, I am seeking    
the removal of automake1.7. Please fix by doing one of the following:           
                                                                                
1. Not build depending on automake in the first place. It may be                
completely unnecessary, or you can ship the generated Makefile.in's in          
the diff.gz. You will never have to deal with these transition                  
problems again.                                                                 
                                                                                
2. Upgrade to the latest version of automake, automake1.11, to stave            
off obsolescence.                                                               
                                                                                
3. Use dh-autoreconf.
