This is a direct quote from Obz one of the gnome ebuild maintainers:
"the GNOME ebuild as provided by us, is "a wrapper for the
complete GNOME desktop" which is what the GNOME project deems as their
complete desktop. However, there's no reason that you need to agree
with them on what makes your desktop complete, the wrappers are
merely for your convenience. If you open up the ebuild (as
pointed out in previous comment) and remove the lines with the
packages you dont want (I always remove out acme, file-roller etc,
things that I just dont need) and emerge, you should be fine."
"Just beware that this changes will be overwritten on an rsync,
so you'll need to alter them again if you need to remerge
later."
SO I assume that you can comment mozilla/ephiphany out of the ebuild and
not have them emerged.
