That's not really the point. Currently there are two automake
packages, automake (version 1.4) and automake1.5. automake 1.6 has
been available for some time, but hasn't been uploaded into sid yet.
One of my packages requires it, which is keeping some other packages
out of sid.

Maybe, but some packages do require 1.5 or 1.6.
