This change seems reasonable.

Off topic: For future patch submissions, I would suggest using
git-send-email; reviewing patches as attachments is annoying.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] xdg.eclass: break dependency loop with glib and utility packages

[Gilles Dartiguelongue]

Hello all,

making gnome2.eclass depend on xdg.eclass has the unfortunate
consequence of having xdg utility package in the dependency loop of
glib which uses gnome2.eclass for various features (such as gsettings
schema compilation).

Since there is no other need that I know of to make these dependencies
optional for xdg.eclass, I am proposing to have them skipped for glib
only.

This issue currently breaks stage generation.
