Hi Eric,

Thanks for your interest in getting rid of old versions of automake.

I got two questions about this patch.  Is there any reason why we cannot
simply add these to the "fields/obsolete-packages" data file?  If
nothing else, it would save us from adding a new test case.  :)

And the second question, ...

Why did you add "debfiles" to Needs-Info?  I cannot see anything your
changes at first glance that would require it, so I am curious if we got
some outdated documentation somewhere.
