Another option suggested to me was to add a use flag to OpenRC that pulls in a dependency on virtual/init instead of adding virtual/init to @system. The suggestion originally was to add it to rdepend, but that doesn't feel right to me since openrc really doesn't have a runtime dependency on init, so I'm thinking something like this: IUSE="... +separate-init" PDEPEND=" ... separate-init? ( virtual/init )" Thoughts? William
