27 What kind of errors will people see? As I have just tested, if I run:
28 CAMERAS="bbhsgdd" emerge -pv media-libs/libgphoto2
29
30 I get no error (that would be equivalent to a camera that got removed on
31 a bump).
32
33 In the case of a CAMERA addition, we would see it when bumping (as one
34 of them wouldn't be enabled automatically). It doesn't look to
35 complicate to maintain for me then :-/
