It is impossible to predict which messages are going to get displayed, if your were to upgrade/install a given package (reduces to the halting-problem, you know the drill) :-) Hence, what you want implemented is impossible to do (so that it works in all cases). If you want to know what the important notices you might get, then read the ebuild and figure out which ones applies to your system (or actually do the upgrade/install).
