It's intentional. In jflex-1.6.1.ebuild, you'll find... PDEPEND=">=dev-java/javacup-0.11b_p20151001:0" That's a "post-merge" dependency, and they exist to get around otherwise-circular dependencies: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/ Why those two particular packages have circular deps, I can't say.
