I have a question for Max and the other developers. There are now 4 main versions of automake: 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and now 1.7. I notice that debian has all 4 available to install, and I was thinking that maybe we should do the same. we would use the version in the name, so the packages would be automake1.4-1.4-1, etc, and there would be no plain automake anymore. we could use update-alternatives to make sure that a package uses the correct automake, or we could just have automake a symlink to the actual binary (automake-1.4). How does everyone feel about this idea? by not having an "automake" package we could remove any ambiguity in the future as to which one the packager wants.
