I found a workaround to deal with that problem (but not sure this is
the right way to do it). Eclasses silently add E_*DEPEND and emerge
seems to catch dependencies not only from *DEPEND but also from
E_*DEPEND, so you may want to write
inherit elisp
E_DEPEND="emacs? ( ${E_DEPEND} )"
E_RDEPEND="emacs? ( ${E_RDEPEND} )"
DEPEND="[...]"
to turn off emacs dependency when USE="-emacs". This way, metacache
will not be messed up.
