Yes, that will be case with 1.11.2, to be released in a couple of days.
Quoting from the NEWS file:
- The `ACLOCAL_PATH' environment variable is now interpreted as a
colon-separated list of additional directories to search after the
automake internal acdir (by default ${prefix}/share/aclocal-APIVERSION)
and before the system acdir (by default ${prefix}/share/aclocal).
