The Debian way is "update-alternatives --config <name of alternative as given by "ls /etc/alternatives">" which in your case might translate into "update-alternatives --config automake". As for my setup I have the "automake1.4" and "autoconf2.13" packages uninstalled. Instead I have "automake1.7" and "autoconf". Your problem might be because in addition to "automake1.6" you also have "automake1.4" (or simply "automake") installed.
