dev-util/mdds (all current ebuilds) have a USE flag valgrind which enables memory tests. However, if enabled and valgrind is not installed, then the merge fails in the configure phase with checking for valgrind... no configure: error: valgrind not found Suggestion: Add "valgrind? ( dev-util/valgrind )" to DEPEND. While we are at it: I find the USE flag name quite nondescript as it only tells me that valgrind might be somehow involved. The upstream configure option '--enable-memory_tests' tells me more. I would suggest renaming the flag to 'memory-tests'.
Thanks for your report. The USE flag name is in line with other packages providing a similar build option.
