Can't you whitelist packages like automake so that they don't trigger

we can add packages that don't trigger changed-deps rebuilds?
There is no reason to rebuild anything just because of an automake update.
This is just madness.
Are you using --deep? I suspect that is why changed-deps is looking
at build-time dependencies. I don't see why you'd need to rebuild
something if a build-time dependency changes, unless you really care
about building with the latest build system (in which case you
probably would want to rebuild after an automake update).
Yes, I use --deep. I've run into cases many times in the past where
portage was skipping updates unless I used --deep.
