Please note that emacs can works without gconf, in fact as many other packages it compiles with uneeded dependencies because the chroot where we compile have all packages installed. So at contigure time applications automatically link them to all other apps they can find and support. i.e. : sylpheed now depends on libassuan ; transmission on gconf, etc...
As you know this behavior is exactly what we don't want as we want light packages and depends. There's two solution :
1 - Add right compile rules in the receipt to avoid linking with unwanted libraries/apps (in this case --without-gconf)
2 - Cook in a minimal chroot
The first is a good solution for now, but the second seems me better in the long run. The second solution have two important advantage :
1 - It doesn't need to ad right compiles rules in all receipts (I think there's a lot !), just set depends/build_depends correctly
2 - in minimal chroot the package only brings requested depends, but if you cook it in you're own system it link to additionnal libraries/apps you have already installed, which is not bad I think.
