1 If I were a python hacker or knew portage internals, I'd be willing to
2 help out with the "clean" database solution, but I think this is a good
3 temporary solution to the problem. It basically does the same thing
4 we've been doing as a temporary solution but makes it easier by placing
5 it in an eclass for us.

7 As for handling the case when a library isn't needed anymore... yes, I
8 agree that this doesn't address that case beyond telling the user to
9 delete the lib once they've run the revdep-rebuild, but that's basically
10 all we're doing right now anyways...
