I see the following code in gen-vlc:

  # Edit debian/control to depend on the (older) automake required.
  # This has to happen before fetching build-deps, so its now done here
  sed -i -e  's/automake/automake1.9/' debian/control
  apt-get --yes build-dep vlc$VERSION

However, the last line does nothing. Here's the output of do-update:

  <...>
  + sed -i -e s/automake/automake1.9/ debian/control
  + apt-get --yes build-dep 
vlc=0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3
  Reading package lists... Done

automake1.9 is not installed in chroot at the moment! This looks like a bug.
A first thought: should the "sed ..." line affect "apt-get build-dep" at all?
IIUC apt-get gets info from the cache and my
/var/lib/apt/lists/127.0.0.1_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_source_Sources still
contains "automake" in vlc's Build-Depends section, not "automake1.9".

P.S. vlc compiled fine with automake1.9.
