Not so fast. Check to see if you do have the xattr flag enabled. 
The entry for attr is a conditional dependency: you don't need it if
you don't have the xattr flag. (Equery is, at present, not smart
enough to decipher dependency from USE.)

Also, I'd thought that emerge --depclean has matured enough so that
you don't get weird stuff like depclean telling you pwdb is save to
remove, while equery tells you there's a hard dependency.
