Yes, I know... this is about always setting the SLOT we know it does
work, even when only one SLOT exists (as the summary says) to prevent
we need to constantly fix RDEPENDs of all reverse deps every time a new
slot is added. This currently was a bit more "invisible" to users...
but once dynamic-deps are disabled, people will need to rebuild ALL
that reverse deps to get the proper (old) slot set in VDB.

In summary, this is the first suggestion of:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493742#c0

That it will know much more visible as, for example, at the time
gstreamer:1.0 was added, we were able to simply fix reverse deps to
pull in the old slot they were still using, but now, in addition to
that, people will need to also rebuild all the reverse deps for the
same purpose. If, at the start, that packages would have the proper
slot set that was working when the package was added/bumped, the deps
would have being ok for the first time and, then, no update of the
RDEPEND and no rebuild would be triggered
