So you lied to portage and now it's acting on the incorrect information
you have given it :)
Basically, yeah!

Add them to world. As long as you don't do an automatic emerge -uD
world you shouldn't have a problem. When updates come out, yopu'll see
them in the output of emerge -pvD world (which you won't with your
current setup) then you can merge them manually in the correct order
before letting portage handle the rest of world.
I might be wrong, but I have the idea that E-cvs packages are always updated during an emerge world. Therefore I can't control it by updating (manually) E-packages and then run emerge world. However, I'll check this next update.
With all that said, I assume that there's no way to manage my packages for update and depclean while keeping some of them out of world file... damn..

That's a possible explanation. the easy way to find out is to run
quickpkg win32codecs
emerge -C win32codecs
emerge world -uavDk
If it really is needed, the last command will re-emerge it.
I take it you have run "emerge -uavD --newuse world" before depclean?
I think I'll just add the flag and add --newuse flag for next emerge world! Thanks.
