libraw-0.20 at some version added this to its configure.ac: # check if we want zlib support AC_ARG_ENABLE([zlib], [ --enable-zlib Enable zlib support for deflate compressed DNG files], [case "${enableval}" in yes) zlib=true ;; no) zlib=false ;; *) AC_MSG_ERROR([bad value ${enableval} for --enable-zlib]) ;; esac],[zlib=true]) if test x$zlib = xtrue; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ZLIB],[zlib],[ CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $ZLIB_CFLAGS -DUSE_ZLIB" LIBS="$LIBS $ZLIB_LIBS" AC_SUBST([PACKAGE_REQUIRES],[zlib]) ], AC_MSG_WARN([zlib support cannot be enabled]) ) fi But the ebuild didn't grow a zlib dependency, so if somehow zlib isn't installed at the time, it'll be disabled automatically. And if it was installed at the time, portage doesn't know about it and would allow uninstalling zlib as far as it's concerned. Of course that's very very unlikely to happen, given how widespread a zlib dependency is on even a minimal system, but still.
