I don't think it's a good idea to play with intersections of dependencies -- that would be hard to implement and therefore fragile. Furthermore, :* guarantees runtime switching support. Lack of any operator indicates semi-undefined behavior, e.g. paludis tries the safest route possible and requires all slots installed at build time. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
