GTK+ already depended on libepoxy (since 3.18 i believe). So it will not be a real new dependency at least for WebKitGTK+. But I understand the concern for other ports. Would this patch implement something that will be used for WebKitGTK+ or it will be shared with other ports?

Well, my reading of the policy is that is ok to add a new dependency meanwhile at least one of this two preconditions is true:

 - The dependency is needed for building WebKitGTK+ and Debian/Ubuntu already ships that dependency. The policy is : "WebKitGTK+ should be build-adble on the last Ubuntu LTS and last Debian stable" + 1 year since a new Debian/UbuntuLTS is released.
 - The dependency is optional (ex: it is needed for some feature that can be disabled)

But we should clarify this.. do you think is worth raising the topic another time on the mailing list?
