I've at least been adding :0 to many packages, openssl, tiff, libpng ...

that reminded me that if something is possible, users will do it
people masked >=media-libs/libpng-1.4 and they only got the :1.2
binary-only SLOT installed and ended up with no headers
so having :0 forces the headers be there, and people don't get confused
(at least if you read portage's output correctly)
