Ludwig's alternative suggestion was that someone could prepare a side-by-side installable automake-1_15 package or so, so that it doesn't interfere with the 42.3/SP3 bootstrap cycle.
This sounds like the best solution to me. After all, we still have autoconf213 package with autoconf 2.13 which can be used to build packages which are incompatible with newer autoconf versions. This would be similar, only the reason would be exactly the opposite. This way, most packages would still use the same automake as in 42.1 and 42.2 and only the packages which need newer automake would use it (which is typically matter of BuildRequire, setting an environment variable and possibly running automake-1.5 rather than automake). We would just need to override the policy checks as such compatibility package obviously wouldn't exist in Factory (which already has 1.5).
