The only reason that gnu-classpath RDEPENDs on virtual/jre is the scripts in /usr/gnu-classpath-0.98/bin. I suspect that these scripts are rarely necessary -- e.g., jamvm supplies its own scripts in /usr/lib/jamvm/bin. I suggest separating installation of /usr/gnu-classpath-*/bin into a USE flag, say USE=tools. Implementing this enhancement will also avoid circular dependency on virtual/jre when, e.g., installing jamvm (see bug #421095 and bug #382421).
