I think the beta numbering scheme used in automake in the past was odd
letters (aceg...) for devel snapshots, and even letters (bdfh...) for
betas.  That is, if you aren't ready for 1.11.2, then the beta would be
named 1.11.1b.

But never having done an automake release myself, I can't say that for
certain.  At any rate, as long as your result is monotonically
increasing (larger than the last release, and smaller than the planned
1.11.2), we should be okay.
