Why does portage insist on installing busybox for me? |

As far as I know the only use for it on a desktop system is for |
| 4 |
initramfs. I have no initramfs, therefore I have no need for busybox. |

I unmerged it and nothing bad happened except for a warning from portage |
| 6 |
that it is part of my profile set. I went ahead and ignored the |
| 7 |
warning. |

But now I updated the tree and emerge -p shows it will be installed |
| 10 |
again. Why is that? The only reverse dependencies are virtuals which |
| 11 |
are satisfied in other ways, like virtual/awk. So is it the profile |
| 12 |
thing? But I have done the same with other profile packages (notably |
| 13 |
editors/nano) and those are _not_ coming back. |
