What about automake's behavior do you consider to be a bug?

The "depfiles" behavior on $(top_srcdir)/../baz/baz.c definitely is a
bug, but do you also consider the behavior on ../bar/bar.c (building
into ../bar) to be broken?

Though the latter behavior might not be 100% political correct (automake
working on files outside of the builddir), it actually is pretty handy
for usage in subpackages of collections of packages)
