There's been discussion about removing some of them, and some thoughts about removing 1.4 -- it's definitely only in Debian for users' convenience, not because other things in Debian depend on it.

Nope, still not unused: there's 3 packages remaining build-depending on it in unstable, down from 30 in lenny and 8 in squeeze. (counting packages in main only). And of course that's not looking at packages whose maintainers aren't calling automake at all, but are shipping pre-built files generated with automake 1.4.
