We have generally adopted Debian's packaging of automake (and other similar tools), only doing minor version updates within series.

I'd rather wait for Debian to package, and adopt from there

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

- especially true since the Debian maintainer may drop 1.10 along with updating to 1.11

[Javier Jardón (jjardon)]

ok, anyway if anyone knows a PPA with automake1.11, please post here
