I think that they key point is that for automake, the automatic version guessing is no longer done, there are no wrapper scripts. I don't think the WANT_ or FORCE_ stuff has any effect. You should be able to just run e.g. "automake-1.4" if you want that version. When you run "automake" you get whichever version is currently set as the "alternative" -- see "man alternatives". You can run "update-alternatives --config automake" to select which version the generic "automake" should run. Note that for autoconf, there is still "version guessing" so you should always be able to just run autoconf and get the right thing.
