 Hi there,
 
 I had a different problem with the db upgrade last week: postfix
 broke. I had to run revdep-rebuild to fix it; this is fine, except
 that nothing prompted me to run revdep-rebuild. So:
 
 - Am I expected to run revdep-rebuild after every emerge -uavDN world now?

No, some devs seems to assume breaking users system is ok, see [1],
but the thruth is that users would at least like to have a warning
before it happens. Please fill a bug against the offending package.

Yes, that's always been the case.

 - If so, can we get more integration with emerge itself?

I'd like us to add EAPI support for abi-slot dependencies, as
discussed in these bugs:
