It's already fixed in the repository.  The problem is that even after
that, running "cvs update" doesn't fix the problem on the clients.

Besides, not every maintainer for every package has direct assess to the
CVS repository, as in the case for Automake.  I was talking about a
generic solution, not only about a fix for Automake.
