How deep or how far are dependancies checked?

I just completed a ... emerge -u world where ImageMagick was upgraded from 5.5.5 -> 5.5.6 and dvdrip was also upgraded, unfortunatly, transcode was not recompiled as it had not changed in versions.

This caused a BIG problem, as the libMagic library (/usr/lib/libMagick) had gone from 5.5.5 - 5.5.6 and the 5.5.5 version was unmerged, transcode programs were still trying to referance to the older 5.5.5.so.0 library.

So this brings me to ask why, if some files are "Dependant" upon certain version of lib's that they are not recompiled if the libs change...

ie.

if ( -e <program>) then emerge program name

Or, "if" this program is installed and a lib gets updated then this program should be linked into the "ebuilds" so that program is also updated with the new lib's...
