14 That would require getting the immediate build deps and the deep runtime build
15 deps copied into a temporary directory within $ROOT at the start of every
16 emerge. It would also require every ebuild to be updated so that all deps,
17 including those in system, are listed.

19 That sounds just as error-prone as fixing the ebuilds to me. However, fixing
20 the ebuilds has another benefit. Down the line it will help in being able to
21 install stuff into ${HOME}.
