Indeed, the correct solution would be to state the deps manually in each |
| 16 |
ebuild that requires the dep. But in this case it would mean adjusting |
| 17 |
the DEPEND string of pretty much the entire tree. Until such measures |
| 18 |
are stated required, this would be a good middle ground, no? |

The same thing would apply to gcc if all "real" depends were to be |
| 21 |
required in all ebuilds, but that would pretty much have to be manually |
| 22 |
stated since the PM wouldn't be able to judge that by automatic |
| 23 |
measures. This, on the other hand, can (at least partially) be handled |
| 24 |
automatically for the ebuild-devs on the PM side of things. |
