I struck the automake part of this bug too.  I think the automake
package should establish a /usr/share/info/automake.info.gz as part of
its update-alternatives, the same way it does the man page doc
automake.1.gz.

I believe just a symlink automake.info.gz -> automake-1.11.info.gz is
enough for emacs to find it.  No need to symlink the sub-parts
.info-1.gz etc since the toplevel automake-1.11.info.gz has the full
real name like automake-1.11.info-1.gz already.

Having an info document called "automake.info" will ensure
cross-references in the info system work and ensure info-look doesn't
have to try to anticipate or detect a -N.N and which among multiple
might be the current or latest or preferred.

I'm not sure how the /usr/share/info/dir updating should be handled for
that automake.info link, but even if it's not in the dir initially the
symlink will let info-look and cross references work.

(I think the different index node names among the automake versions will
have to be handled in info-look itself.)
