The change I intend to make is not to repoman but java-utils-2.eclass
where there is already a check to ensure that a dependency has been
added, it just doesn't check the SLOT at the moment. It outputs an
error message by default but dies if you have JAVA_PKG_STRICT set,
which all Java devs should do.

P.S. Quit top posting. :P
