When installing x11-libs/libX11 with the 'doc' USE flag, app-doc/doxygen is pulled in; it should not. I tried emerge -C app-doc/doxygen emerge -1 --nodepse x11-libs/libX11 and it works.
Does seem like a useless dependency, it's defined by xorg-3.eclass, but I can't find anything in the libX11 package actually using doxygen (unlike xorg-server itself). I believe all that's needed here is to remove the "XORG_DOC=doc" line, unless there's some other dependencies I'm not seeing.

So I guess if want to omit doxygen will need a separate doc depend entry. Unless really want to keep the unified style.

If we can confirm that it's only xorg-server that needs doxygen for USE=doc, I can fix this easily.
(Is anyone interested in doing the leg work to confirm that it's only xorg-server that needs doxygen out of all the packages that have IUSE=doc and inherit xorg-2 or xorg-3?)
Here's what I did to find all the xorg-2 and xorg-3 inheriting packages that has doc use flag (hopefully): cd /var/db/repos/gentoo find -type f -name "*.ebuild" | xargs -n1 grep -l xorg-2 > $HOME/xorg-2-inherit find -type f -name "*.ebuild" | xargs -n1 grep -l xorg-3 > $HOME/xorg-3-inherit cat $HOME/xorg-2-inherit $HOME/xorg-3-inherit | xargs grep -l "doc" > $HOME/docpkgs the result - cat $HOME/docpkgs: ./x11-libs/libXaw/libXaw-1.0.13-r1.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXtst/libXtst-1.2.3-r1.ebuild ./x11-libs/startup-notification/startup-notification-0.12-r1.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-image/xcb-util-image-0.4.0-r1.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util/xcb-util-0.4.0-r1.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-cursor/xcb-util-cursor-0.1.3-r2.ebuild ./x11-libs/libSM/libSM-1.2.3.ebuild ./x11-libs/libxcb/libxcb-1.13.1.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-keysyms/xcb-util-keysyms-0.4.0-r1.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-wm/xcb-util-wm-0.4.1-r2.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-xrm/xcb-util-xrm-1.3.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-xrm/xcb-util-xrm-1.2.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-xrm/xcb-util-xrm-1.0.ebuild ./x11-libs/xcb-util-renderutil/xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.9-r2.ebuild ./x11-libs/libxkbcommon/libxkbcommon-0.8.4.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXi/libXi-1.7.10.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXcursor/libXcursor-1.2.0.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXcomposite/libXcomposite-0.4.5.ebuild ./x11-libs/libICE/libICE-1.0.10.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXdmcp/libXdmcp-1.1.3.ebuild ./x11-libs/libX11/libX11-1.6.9.ebuild ./x11-libs/libX11/libX11-1.6.8.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXfont2/libXfont2-9999.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXfont2/libXfont2-2.0.4.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXxf86dga/libXxf86dga-1.1.5.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXmu/libXmu-1.1.3.ebuild ./x11-libs/xtrans/xtrans-1.4.0.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXrandr/libXrandr-1.5.2.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXext/libXext-1.3.4.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXft/libXft-2.3.3.ebuild ./x11-libs/libXt/libXt-1.2.0.ebuild ./x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.20.5.ebuild ./x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-9999.ebuild So now "only" to test if the packages build without doxygen; that should not be too hard.

Ping... any way forward with this?
