It's a workaround, not an experiment as it's been tested for over a week. |

It's to get round an issue with subslots and some ebuilds not handling |
| 16 |
changes as expected (I won't say incorrectly as there seems to be some |
| 17 |
dispute over exactly what is defined in the PMS).AIUI the second ebuild |
| 18 |
simply depends on the first, so that all the ebuilds requiring ncurses |
| 19 |
work properly. |

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558952 for more information, |
| 22 |
probably more than you want to read. |
