Make that
pamdir = $(prefix)/etc/pam.d
but you really should be using sysconfdir:
pamdir = $(sysconfdir)/pam.d
so that both the casual user and the distribution packager can easily
override the values: the former could do
configure --sysconfdir=/etc # rest goes under /usr/local
whereas the latter does
configure --prefix=/
So no, this is not a bug in Automake.
