This is actually a bug that affects several autotools packages,
excluding autoconf, for which it's already fixed: the invocation node
is added to the info dir as "automake" which means that
info automake
goes to the invocation node, not the Top node.
autoconf calls its invocation node autoconf-i

I said that the indices are poor, specifically at indexing concepts
rather than just keywords, function names &c., in general. I also said
that the manuals in general are excellent.

I rarely find anything useful in the indices other than particular
functions or variables. Rarely, in GNU manuals, concepts, but that is
because

I have a C program which loads some scripts at runtime. These are

automake 1.10 has started complaining about GNU Make-isms. This is fair
