Hello Helmut, maybe that www-client/epiphany is a dependency after a package update (e.g. version 1.0 of package X requires package y, but version 0.9 of X does not). Another reason can be the USE-flags. May when you have been building a packge you temporarily disabled an USE-flag (USE="-flag-to-disable" emerge x), which is in your make.conf and activates an optional dependency (in this www-client/epiphany, epiphany requires a newer version of www-client/firefox and so on). Hopefully this helped you a bit.
