Thanks for keeping me on the topic.

Now, let me remind you because you probably fail to know the world
outside your dreamworld:

  (with HDEPEND/DEPEND) generally mean that we would need to
  s/DEPEND/HDEPEND/ for the vast majority of ebuilds (ie all the trivial
  ones)?

That does effectively refer to the common depends as well. You know, in
the real world where there is no magical variables which do miracles
behind your back.
