(I submitted the bug)

The automake documentation says:

  INCLUDES
  This does the same job as AM_CPPFLAGS (or any per-target
  _CPPFLAGS variable if it is used). It is an older name for
  the same functionality. This variable is deprecated; we
  suggest using AM_CPPFLAGS and per-target _CPPFLAGS instead.

On that basis, I believe they're synonyms, and the automake folks are pushing everyone towards the AM_* style variables.

I see the annoying logspew using OSX with MacPorts and automake-1.13.1 (and I *think* on Debian/testing as well, but that box is inaccessible right now, so I cannot confirm that).

I've updated the bug,
