It was not clear, and we should officially clarify it somewhere in the documentation. (I also learnt as a recruit that "versionless dependency is fine if all versions in the portage tree fulfill it". As a consequence I have been regularly dropping version dependencies from ebuilds for simplification if the excluded versions were long gone from the tree.) -- Andreas K.
