You surely mean automake ;)
In breezy, 1.4 is the default, however you can choose from 1.4 to 1.9. Simply 
apt-get install automake<version> (e.g. automake1.6).

However, a higher version in automake doesn't always come with full downward 
compatibility, so if things don't work with 1.9, try different versions.

Cheers,
