MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for automake-1.7 [2]: Nothing on AUR requires this very old automake version from 2003. It is also not a drop-in replacement of repo's automake, so it shouldn't have had the provides=automake field. But it's safe to delete, as there is no evidence of usage by anyone.
