not a bug, but a feature... if a package is masked you have to give the full path to the ebuild file.
But the --pretend should show why it is masked! And it says: "!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/autospeedstep" have been masked.". And I saw once a nice output showing which packages block another package.
