I have noticed the following problem (bug) in automake-1.10:
(1) A package (ImageMagick-6.3.0) uses configure to generate manpages with
substitutions (e.g., xxxx.1 from xxxx.1.in) but also distributes the
generated manpages from an older version (i.e., with wrong substitutions).
(2) The automake-generated rule to install manpages looks for the files to
install FIRST under ${srcdir} and THEN under the current directory.
===============
The effect of (1)+(2) is, that the manpages with the wrong substitutions are
installed.
===============
(1) is certainly not the right way to do things.
On the other hand I would think that (2) is equally wrong. Whenever a file
is to be installed, then the automake-generated rules should FIRST look for
that file in the current directory and THEN under ${srcdir}!
