Source: automake-1.17
Version: 1:1.17-1
Severity: minor

src:automake-${version} source packages made sense back in the
days when there were also several automake-${version} binary
packages in the archive.

Today automake is stale and stable, and there will likely never
again be more than one version in the archive.

Today src:automake-${version} gets you a round through NEW for
each new automake major release, and also means some bugs have
to be moved manually from the old to the new package - with no
benefits anymore of haveing the version in the source package name.
