Is there a way with emerge or equery to determine what other package a
given package is a dependency for?

As a clarification, I have the "net-dialup/" subtree excluded from
portage as described by another thread on this list
(/etc/portage/rsyc_excludes).  But when I run "emerge --ask --verbose
- --update --newuse --deep world", I get the "net-dialup/ppp" package as
one that is queued to be installed.  I can only guess that this means
that it's a dependency of another package that is already installed.
So, how would I found out what the "root" package is that is requiring
net-dialup/ppp as a dependency?

Thanks.
