/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxPython2_3.so
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxPython2_4.so
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxPython2_5.so
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxPython2_6.so


Those files makes depclean not wanting to unmerge python 2.5 here. Maybe it'd be worth depending on python:2.6 and remove the other three.

Yes there is a set of already built and bundled python libs
(VBoxPython2_*.so).

just fixed on 3.0.10 ebuilds[1], now only needed libs are installed
(added the python USE flag too) thanks for pointing this out.
