Sorry -- that slipped through and should not have been included in the
set of patches I sent.

The problem is that in Debian you can install many automake versions in
parallel, including the old and no-longer-really-working 1.4. Which
version "automake" points to, on Debian systems, is the sysadmin's
personal choice. Any package thus either has to explicitly depend on
(and use) the version that works for it, or conflict with having am-1.4
installed (which is not a good solution since that's too strong an
assertion), or ship all the automade files as part of the Debian
packaging (which makes for large and completely unreadable
Debian-specific diffs).
I intend to solve this by including a Debian-specific version of the
bootstrap command line in the debian/rules file.
