But wouldn't an attempt to install an app dependent on mysql
potentially succeed eroniously? What I'm trying to see - and
education is always a good thing - is that in order to truely
block mysql, you would need something a bit more complex than an
entree in /etc/portage/package.provided.
Something in addition? like:
equery --nocolor hasuse mysql|awk '{print ">="$1}' >
</etc/portage/package.provided|/etc/portage/package.mask>
to avoid the consequences of basically saying that it's there
when it isn't?
I have read the man page, but it doesn't seem to address the
consequenses down the road for this condition.

Exactly, that's why /etc/portage/package.provided was created. The
previous solution was correct. Namely:

"man portage" for more more info.
