19 subslot rebuilds aren't supposed to be useless; however if the subslot
20 is changed unnecessarily then yes, it can trigger those rebuilds.

22 I wonder if there may be some form of extension we could add to
23 portage, such that it could do a VDB-only "re-emerge" somehow, when
24 the in-tree ebuild doesn't match the in-VDB one. If that could be
25 implemented properly (and i'm not sure that it could, tbh), maybe that
26 would help reduce issues with dynamic deps, too...
