This is true and it's definitely a problem; you should most likely add a USE flag for the parport support, similar to how a usb USE flag is present.

I never doubted that this is true, and I am ashamed to see that I did not find the time to fix this for more than half a year. Sorry, time is a very scarce resource for me and everything that is not completely trivial is likely to get delayed, especially when it is no show stopper.
Fix is in CVS for .20-r3, going to bed now.
