There is 2.6.0alpha version of XDebug released on 2dn of December. It would be nice to see this package in the Portage tree (at least masked to use at you own risk if it's not stable enough). It has support for recently released PHP 7.2.0 and is very useful to upgrade PHP application to the new version.
Thank you for the bump request. You can help the maintainer with further information: Does a simple bump [1] work on your system? Chances are high, because a first look on the bump revealed only small changes. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository#Simple_version_bump_of_an_ebuild_in_the_local_overlay

We will reconsider once upstream releases something better
