What gives here? Your output is as expected (I read the 3rd field of `wc` to be number of lines). The world file contains only packages which have been explicitly emerged; the output of `emerge -e --deep world -p` contains also their dependencies and lines such as "These are the packages that I would merge..." I would not expect the world file to be longer than the output of `emerge -edp world`, unless that world file had been copied from another system (in which case, for some reason, `emerge -e` doesn't seem catch everything).
