Don't bother emailing the maintainer, since this is the _intended_
behavior. We have separate automake1.5 ... automake1.11 packages for
packages that need particular automake versions to build.
The best solution is for you to do something on _your_ end, such as to
include
fink install automake1.9
as part of your automatic update script. Either that, or perhaps you
can reconfigure your build not to use Fink's automake at all, and
instead to use the system's (unless your system's automake is too new
for your package--since you didn't provide that information, I've got no
idea what you have built-in) via appropriate configure flags.
