If there are target-specific files that need to be installed via DEPEND, vala would still need to be installed in BDEPEND so that there is an executable valac command, right? In practice, I don't think DEPEND usage matters yet because vala support seems to require gobject-introspection, which is virtually impossible to cross-compile. (I plan to implement something like Void[0] locally to try it some time.) This patch is to fix packages like ibus[1] that depend on vala regardless of my disabling the USE flag, where the current eclass behavior unconditionally fails. Thanks.
