In fact this is coming from gst-plugins.eclass - it inherits autotools eclass, but doesn't define WANT_AUTOCONF and WANT_AUTOMAKE before doing so. I'm not sure how this should be handled if inherit autotools has to remain in gst-plugins.eclass. Maybe set them both to "latest" if they are unset otherwise, as such ebuilds should be able to override if necessary. Gstreamer herd? Oh, and I'll be duping other gst-plugins-* WANT_AUTO* QA bugs against this one, if it's only caused by the eclass (that is, the package itself doesn't inherit autotools itself too)

we've taken the route of defaulting to latest in the eclass: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/eclass/autotools.eclass?r1=1.62&r2=1.63
