two things:
 - eautoreconf acts like autoreconf which means it can assume that use of 
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION implies use of `autopoint`
 - it doesn't assume *just* autopoint -- nothing is stopping you from running 
any other random tools you like (such as intltool)

so attempting to run `autoreconf` in those packages fails ?

no.  this adds intltool as a dependency to every package inherting this 
eclass.
