I hadn't even been aware automake1.4 was frozen or that it was part of
toolchain-source. I guess I should have been paying better attention.

The automake1.10 source package in NEW contains the new automake
package. This is all part of my diabolical plan lightly documented on
http://wiki.debian.org/AutomakeTransition, and I did send some mail
out outlining this to -devel or -release or both months ago. I went
through and NMUed almost every package that had a build dependency on
automake about a month ago, so either fireflier's dependency is new
(for shame) or I somehow missed it in my sweep (shame on me).
