[PATCH] Force to use automake1.11 to prevent FTBFS in Trusy (LP: #1250340)

[Keng-Yu Lin]

Yes, this is expected.

This patch only works if it starts from `debian/rules`.

You can specify the environment vars as below with autoreconf, it should work:

  $ AUTOMAKE=automake-1.11 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.11 autoreconf -ivf

(have to install automake1.11 deb first.)
