Title:
  time build depends on virtual automaken which is ninstallable

Status in time package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in time package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The time package Build-Depends on automaken which is a virtual package
  (provided by automake, automake1.7.. etc), and the apt cannot resolve
  therefore the dependency to build up the building environment.
  According the ubuntu proposal for this, you should use

  Build-Depends: .. automake1.7 | automaken

  or anything ensuring that the first package is really installable (and
  the time package buildable with it: 1.7 fulfills this) then listing
  the virtuals.

  Cheers,

  toma
