Libs for building clients are pulled in with virtual/postgresql-base, so maybe this would be a good thing to check overall. Rarely (never?) is a database server required on the same machine you are running a client application... I mention this only because IDK if this is entirely clear to whoever wrote this ebuild, or if it bears looking into further. Regarding the last point: find /media/portage/ -name '*.ebuild' -print |while read ebuild ; do grep -l 'virtual/postgresql-server' $ebuild ; done |wc -l --> 124 ebuilds to check... IMO
