Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2013-04-13 01:47:18 UTC 
Currently packages, which use default WANT_AUTOMAKE="latest", are forced to depend on "|| ( >=sys-devel/automake-1.11.1:1.11 >=sys-devel/automake-1.12:1.12 )" even if they work with automake 1.13.

i can't think of a reason why to not make this change, but the documentation needs updating before we change the meaning
