works fine here as well, i bet this was a copy-paste oversight. It 
should just be "automake" and let the meta package figure this out.

Its needed for usrp. Is there a special non-free ubuntu repository for

I believe that we have release tags still in subversion. Until that 
changes, we should keep subversion there.
