10 The entire point is that the STABLE ebuilds need to be changed,
11 otherwise they will try to depend on the libusb-1 series (and fail
12 dismally).

14 For switching from EAPI0 to EAPI1, if the ebuild still compiles fine,
15 then I see no reason that a slot dep change cannot be just put in with
16 the EAPI change. (The same cannot be said for EAPIx -> EAPI2, as further
17 changes are needed for that case).
