What of eclasses?  Bug 58819 comes to mind...

Ebuilds get the RDEPEND="${REPEND-${DEPEND}}" default, but 
eclasses don't.  Would rather there was a standard the whole way 
through personally, even if eclasses are a bit more complex 
in enforcing the RDEPEND="${RDEPEND-${DEPEND}}" behaviour.  That 
said, I'm not much for the auto-setting of RDEPEND :)

So... extend the ebuild behaviour to eclasses, or...
