Usertags: automake-cleanup-2013

As documented in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/05/msg01459.html, I will be
removing automake1.4, automake1.9 and automake1.10 from the archive.
Your package has a build dependency on one (or more) of these
packages.

In many cases these dependencies are unnecessary as there is typically
no build time dependency on automake for most packages. If it is
required, you should update the dependency to "automake" or
"automake1.11". If you need any assistance with making your package
work with a newer version of automake, please let me know, but it
should be relatively painless for the most part.

I plan to ask for the removal of automake1.4, automake1.9 and
automake1.10 in approximately one month. Once they removed this bug's
severity will be upgraded to "serious".
