virtual/logger should be removed (or at least made optional) as dependency from the bitlbee ebuild, since the program doesn't seem to require a logger. I don't know if it is required with some configurations, but with mine it doesn't and works like a charm without it.
Also, "logger" should be removed from «need» in the bitlbee init file: > diff /etc/init.d/bitlbee /usr/portage/net-im/bitlbee/files/bitlbee.initd-r1 10c10 < need net --- > need logger net
