Hi, I know that Debian depends on automake1.9 for its Wireshark build, so that is oke.
The Debian automake1.10 package has a note saying: "Automake 1.10 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 did, so has been renamed so that the previous version can continue to be made available." I don't know if and how this relates to building Wireshark, but sticking with 1.9 may make life easier.
