Description Nikoli 2014-02-06 17:49:03 UTC 
Ebuild has comment:
# Note: xpyb is used as the C header, not Python modules

so what x11-libs/xpyb is doing in RDEPEND?

good question.  However, it doesn't make for a broken ebuild.  While it's needed in DEPEND, it does no harm set in RDEPEND. Can you do a runtime. Nikoli read the doc/reference/surfaces.rst and it appears to me that it is indeed utilised at runtime. See 
.. class:: XCBSurface.

That indeed appears to give the answer.  In order to make a case that it not be included in RDEPEND you need to prove it's never utilised at runtime.

Fixed in 1.13.1 in the tree.
