Yes, of course!  Here are some bugs that may be worth addressing
(before or after 1.6.2, I don't really mind):

- It seems that Automake doesn't clear stamp files created in
  sub-directories.
    ERROR: files left after distclean:
    ./src/config/stamp-h1 
  (The closest Makefile is at src/Makefile.am.)

- Debian Bug#144221: dejagnu.am build site.exp and site.bak, and never
  erase these files.  Hence `make distcheck' always fails. 

- `Nelson H. F. Beebe' have reported a couple of failures like
  this on Solaris:
    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2002/msg00486.html
  Sometimes it PASSes, sometimes it FAILs.  I guess it is a
  timestamp issue, but I don't undersand it.  The same issue was
  reported before in
    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2002/msg00157.html

- http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2002/msg00484.html
  I don't know what a so_location file is.  Is it something that
  Automake should clean, or is it the job of Libtool?
