Thanks for that link. Somehow, I don't have the portage FAQ in my bookmarks, where I could refer to it answering questions, etc (as well as for my own use). Since due to the mix of USE flags, etc, stuff like kdelibs appears in my @system's deps, that FAQ entry does help answer the question you so well intuited that I was alluding to. =:^) Meanwhile, now that I've envisioned the "emerging" app as described thanks to the stimulus provided by this thread, perhaps I'll implement at least parts of it in my own customized portage front-end scripts. I already have quite a collection accumulated as I expect many gentoo users do after a few years, but this would certainly be one of my more ambitious to date.
