Ye, I've it. With Debian sid, it is part of gnome-common package. I've  
seen that in /usr/share/aclocal/gnome2-macros there is an autogen.sh  
script and the value for autogen is 1.4 .. In this case, it is checked  
for 1.4 only. I think it is a bug as the when 1.4 only = 1.4 is checked  
and not the higher versions (I've reported a bug in the Debian BTS  
against gnome-common but maybe it is a feature [tm]):

case $REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION in
    1.4*) automake_progs="automake-1.4" ;;
    1.5*) automake_progs="automake-1.7 automake-1.6 automake-1.5" ;;
    1.6*) automake_progs="automake-1.7 automake-1.6" ;;
    1.7*) automake_progs="automake-1.7" ;;

The 'vootstrap' fails at ./configure step telling that there si no ./ 
configure ...

But as I've modfied the autogen.sh from gnome-common I managed to build  
balsa.
