automake according to Ubuntu Software Center

Following description can be found in Ubuntu Software Center (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) for Automake package:




Automake 1.15 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake
1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 1.14 did, so previous versions are available as separate packages.





Few questions arise from this:




  • Why are versions 1.12 and 1.13 not mentioned in the list?


  • Fact that 1.15 fails to work in a number of situation - is this a problem of Automake or integration-in-Ubuntu's one?


  • Description mentions previous versions are available as separate packages - where is that availability, GNU or other automake distribution servers or Ubuntu packages distribution system?
