I have opened a bug against gnome-common in the dDebian BTS and here is  
the reply of the maintainer :

If you closely look at gnome-common's changelog, I already tried to
change the required version to something newer, but it was a bad idea.
Many upstream GNOME modules still depend on automake1.4 as they haven't
been updated, and using Debian's gnome-common on them broke stuff
severity.

You can force gnome-common to use a new automake using the
REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION variable in autogen.sh. automake1.8 isn't
supported yet.
