That's down to how ebuilds are specifying dependencies: if they don't explicitly give a slot, or a :* specifier, then we don't know which slots are affected. Rather than risk breakage, we err on the side of caution, and assume that all slots are required unless ebuilds explicitly say otherwise. -- Ciaran McCreesh
