Thanks for taking a look. We already build-depend on automake-1.11 and
you could prevent the installation of newer automake version by
declaring a Build-Conflicts relationship which would solve #824011 too
btw. Of course it would be preferable if we could simply use default
automake since 1.11 will be removed from Debian sometime.

Regards,

Markus
