It will only update dependencies when they are strictly required by the
new version, same like emerge if you don't use -u (which should
only be used for system and world updates anyway). Basically 
    glsa-check -f some-glsa
will call
    emerge --oneshot $EMERGE_OPTS =package-version
where 'version' is the lowest "safe" version that doesn't result in a
downgrade (of course if the system isn't affected it won't do anything).

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
