Not a "better" idea, just an alternative one: Patch aclocal to read the /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist.d/* files directly.
Is that possible? The advantage is that people can still easily add more directories without knowing any details about what %post scripts to use.
Maybe such a patch could even be pushed upstream because it really makes sense generally (IMHO).
It might make sense -- however, /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist.d/* is a SUSE-only thingy, IIUC. Stock automake only uses /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist, which is a symlink to /etc/aclocal_dirlist on SUSE.
Then stock automake should be enhanced here because having such *.d config directories is a _big_ help for packaging.
Feel free to forward the following patch upstream and reference to me for further discussions.
Do you have a patch to extend automake? ;)
That's an easy one:

Further comments or suggestions welcome.
Thanks for the patch, Robert! I'd really appreciate if you could take the time to push it upstream. As soon as we have the patch in upstream, please file an enhancement request to get it included in our automake package as well. For now we will remove SuSEconfig.automake and add a static /usr/share/aclocale/dirlist -- Stanislav Brabec will take care of this change.
