The abcde ebuild should have a "curl" USE flag to optionally make the package depend on net-misc/curl instead of net-misc/wget (since users may want to use curl instead of wget by setting the HTTPGET and HTTPGETOPTS vars in ~/.abcde.conf). Like so: !curl? ( net-misc/wget ) curl? ( net-misc/curl )

It looks like the net-misc/wget dependency should simply be removed.

Yeah, removing net-misc/wget as dependency is probably better, and perhaps adding an "ewarn" like this example: An HTTP retrieval program like wget, fetch or curl, is required to retrieve CDDB information about the CD and configurable through "HTTPGET". Alternatively, abcde-musicbrainz-tool can be used by setting "CDDBMETHOD=musicbrainz".
