This works by moving the badness from `emerge -u` to `emerge`. In either |
| 10 |
case, to keep your world file accurate, you have to remember to type an |
| 11 |
additional useless parameter every time you run the command. When you're |
| 12 |
running depclean, you have to cross your fingers and hope nobody forgot |
| 13 |
the magic --dont-break-world parameter. |

I've "solved" this by installing every single package as a dependency |
| 16 |
of something in our company repo. So we emerge |
| 17 |
dev-util/mike_wants_to_be_able_to_run_strace_on_apache (depending on |
| 18 |
strace) instead of dev-util/strace. This makes it obvious what can be |
| 19 |
removed; we don't have normal packages listed in the world file, so if |
| 20 |
you see one, it was a mistake. |

But it's not a very good solution, |
