Running
#emerge --depclean --backtrack=60 --ask 
after updating my system today, I have got the following:
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 dev-lang/tk
    selected: 8.5.15 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

 dev-lang/tcl
    selected: 8.5.15-r1 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

All selected packages: dev-lang/tk-8.5.15 dev-lang/tcl-8.5.15-r1

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No]

On the other hand,
$ equery depends
gives
$ equery depends tk
 * These packages depend on tk:
app-text/epspdf-0.6.0 (tk ? dev-lang/tk)
dev-lang/R-3.0.1 (tk ? dev-lang/tk)
dev-lang/ocaml-3.12.1 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-3.3.3)
dev-lang/python-2.7.7 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.0)
dev-lang/python-3.3.5-r1 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.0)
dev-libs/libisoburn-1.3.4 (launch-frontend ? dev-lang/tk:0)
                          (launch-frontend-setuid ? dev-lang/tk:0)
dev-ml/lablgl-1.05 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.3)
dev-vcs/git-1.8.5.5 (tk ? dev-lang/tk)

What does it means?

Do all these packages depend on dev-lang/tk or not?

Can I answer Yes to emerge --depclean --ask?
