Note that to do that, you'll need the following line in your
/etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main

For users of other Debian-derived distros such as Ubuntu or Trisquel,
I also recommend installing the automake-1.12 package from Debian
experimental, but in that case it might be better to just download the
deb file manually and install it via "dpkg -i <debfile>".

  http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/automake/download

Indeed, this 'automake' package has few dependencies and they are all
very old, so it shouldn't bring in any other packages at all (assuming
that you already had automake 1.11 installed).
