I don't know why nobody looked at a better automatic solution for the
python-exec issue, but since it's still biting me on systems, and the
manual solution is annoying, I found a working automatic solution.

Add this line to the dev-lang/python-exec ebuilds:
PDEPEND=">=dev-python/python-exec-10000:$SLOT"

I wrote up the full research of it here:

If there are no objections, I'd like to do this to the affected ebuilds
in a few hours.
