Sure, but this seems more like a portage bug (or at least a portage
output bug) rather than a fundamental issue.

After all, there was no true block - just a need for a rebuild.

I heard prerm as a reason why dynamic deps can break (especially with
slot operator deps, though obviously it also breaks for
non-slot-operator deps that should be expressed as such), though as
has been pointed out those will break unless we unmerge and remerge
all reverse-deps on every upgrade.  Are there other issues.

To be honest I was expecting a plethora of issues that can go wrong
with dynamic deps, but so far I'm hearing something like 2-3, and if
that really is all that there is then this may be a solvable issue.
