Whilst I like the new variable approach, I think this adds too much |
| 38 |
overhead to the already bloated ebuild writing. |
| 39 |
pkg_postinst messages include not only the optional dependencies but |
| 40 |
other useful messages as well. So you may end up using both SDEPEND and |
| 41 |
pkg_postinst. |
