Possibly this exact version is not needed. I was just following this part of /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz: > For automake 1.6 and above, and newest autoconf: [...] > - Call the automake suite using *versioned* names ("automake-1.9", etc), > OR use autoreconf, but set the environment variables accordingly to > the versioned names. Otherwise, you may get a higher version than > what you expected. If you know your Makefile.am files are very well > behaved, and will not break with a newer automake, versioned names are > optional. Upstream is apparently using 1.9.6 so I thought it was the safest choice to hardcode automake-1.9.Okay, I usually assume the Makefile.am is not that broken so it won't work in next version and use current automake.
If you insist, I can convert the package to use current automake. -- Jakub Wilk
