The problem with this approach is when you have dependencies on a particular
client or server. Then you cannot sipy depend on a package (with present
portage) and instead you need to do a hackery detection and bail out in
pkg_setup. I think this is the reason why, for example, bind comes as two
packages: bind (for everything) and bind-tools.
Of course this multiplies the number of packages to support, if such situation
is common. However the solution you describe can be considered "clean" only
after #2272 is finally resolved..
