Paludis has to assume that a package needs all || ( ) deps that're installed, because lots of ebuilds use || ( ) to mean "pick one of these at compile time, and of the things that were there when I was built, I'm going to need one of them at runtime and I'm not telling you which". If everybody used || ( ) correctly then we could change that behaviour, but as it is more people get it wrong than right... -- Ciaran McCreesh
