The :* operator doesn't trigger any rebuilds though. Quoting the PMS |

patch that you linked: |

* Indicates that any slot value is acceptable. In addition, for runtime |
| 27 |
dependencies, indicates that the package will not break if the matched |
| 28 |
package is uninstalled and replaced by a different matching package in a |
| 29 |
different slot. |
