The ones I see are dbmail, fireflier, gnome-lokkit, littler, and lufs having build-deps on automake with no alternative; and ext2resize, gcc-3.3, gnuift, and isoqlog with or'ed build-deps that are likely to break with automake1.10. Hmm, refining the search in response to bugs #395150 and 395152 being filed just now, I also find bitcollider, cronosii, genext2fs, gforth, gsumi, jack-tools, jags, jailer, jfbterm, linneighborhood, migemo, minpack, netrik, printtool, tcpstat, and vsound.
