Description Adrian 2011-11-30 14:09:59 UTC 
The irssi-xmpp ebuild requires net-libs/loudmouth[debug].
Requiring a debug use flag on a library looks seems to be questionable.

IMO it should be either removed or a proper comment added to the ebuild why this is needed.

Reproducible: Always

It's just been there when I inherited this package. Never investigated if it's really needed. I have done it now and it seems to be unnecessary. Thanks for the report.

After investigation, irssi-xmpp needs loudmouth[debug] to avoid xml errors in the ain window.

+  28 Oct 2012; Agostino Sarubbo <ago@gentoo.org> irssi-xmpp-0.52.ebuild:                                                                                                           
+  Restore loudmouth[debug] wrt #392613
