OK, I see now. When I tried to reproduce the problem, I failed
because I removed only 'automake' from my environment. I also
needed to remove 'aclocal' to reproduce the problem.
One way to address this issue is to say that maintainers should
have automake installed. That's normal for other packages, but
I'd rather minimize changes to the assumptions for Emacs.
So, another way is to revisit (again) the decision to omit
aclocal.m4 from the repository. If we put aclocal.m4 in
the repository, we won't have this problem, because we won't
need to run aclocal to generate it.
Perhaps at some point we will assume that maintainers have
automake installed, and we can then go back and revisit
(again!) whether aclocal.m4 should be in the repository.
For now I made this change:
aclocal.m4: put this file back into repository
This way, we don't have to assume that the maintainer has
the automake package installed. See
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-01/msg00746.html>.
* .bzrignore: Remove aclocal.m4, undoing the previous change.
* Makefile.in (top_maintainer_clean): Do not remove aclocal.m4,
undoing the previous change.
* aclocal.m4: New file (actually, resurrected).
