-    This principally affected packages that were m4_including files in
-    a way that aclocal would not have to duplicate entire M4 files
-    into aclocal.m4.  Since aclocal 1.8.x will precisely output
-    m4_includes for local M4 files, we recommend that you clean up
-    your setup, removing all manual m4_includes and letting aclocal
-    output them.
+    Note that if you have such a setup, we recommend you get rid of
+    it.  In the past, there was a reason to m4_include files manually:
+    aclocal used to duplicate entire M4 files into aclocal.m4, even
+    files that were distributed.  Some packages were therefore
+    m4_including the distributed file directly, and playing some
+    tricks to ensure aclocal would not copy that file to aclocal.m4,
+    in order to limit the amount of duplication.  Since aclocal 1.8.x
+    will precisely output m4_includes for local M4 files, we recommend
+    that you clean up your setup, removing all manual m4_includes and
+    letting aclocal output them.
 
   - Output detailed menus in the Info version if the Automake manual,
     so that Emacs can locate the indexes.
