 @code{gcc}.  It might become possible in the future to supply a
 different dependency generating program, if there is enough demand.
 
-In order to use this mode, when developing your package, always run
-@code{automake} with the @samp{--use-deps} option.  This will cause
-dependency generating code to be inserted into your @file{Makefile.in}.
+This mode is enabled by default if any C program or library is defined
+in the current directory.
 
 When you decide to make a distribution, the @samp{dist} target will
 re-run @code{automake} with the @samp{--include-deps} option.  This
 causes the previously generated dependencies to be inserted into the
 generated @file{Makefile.in}, and thus into the distribution.
+@samp{--include-deps} also turns off inclusion of the dependency
+generation code.
 
-The interface here might change as well.  In particular, dependency
-generation might become the default.
+There should probably be a way to suppress this mode.
