I checked the automake NEWS, and indeed,
New in 1.16.2:
- automake no longer requires a @setfilename in each .texi file
I started removing @setfilename everywhere to be in line with the
evolutions of Texinfo, but I can readd to the texi2any_api and
texi2anay_internals manuals. Alternatively, we may bump the requirement
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to 1.16.2.
Not sure what is best, but on my up-to-date openSuSE Leap 15.4 system, automake version is 1.15.1. My Fedora 35 system has 1.16.2. Don't know what other up-to-date releases have, but if there are many current distros with 1.15.1, perhaps the requirement for 1.16.2 is premature?
