A package should *always* call a specific version of automake. If a package directly invokes "automake", that's a bug. It should instead call automake-1.8, automake-1.4, whatever is known to work.
What if a package is known to work with all released automake versions: Should it still hardcode one of them? I have a feeling it it is not a good idea: will it not force users to have all possible versions of automake installed just in case?
