Yes, but this is new, so the Debian automake packaging (as it currently stands) doesn't install that directory. Cowbuilder won't remove empty directories. Adding a README file will cause us problems if automake-1.11 and automake-1.12 (say) are installed on the same system - who owns the README? So I think we'll agree to just fix Debian's automake package. Thanks for your help. :) -- Tim Retout <dioc...@debian.org>
