^^^^^^^^

Do you put spaces or a single tab in front of dependencies?

I prefer 8 spaces since I've set the tabwidth to 4.  But if everbody
else uses a tab I'll use a tab too.

I don't like the combination of tabs and spaces in RDEPEND very much
though.  If the tabwidth is set to 4 the output looks like this:

DEPEND="virtual/glibc
    virtual/x11
RDEPEND="virtual/glibc
     virtual/x11

There are 4 "spaces" at the beginning of the second line and 5
"spaces" in the fourth line.

IMHO either a single tab should be used in both cases or 8 spaces
should be used in the first case and 9 spaces in the second case.

On the other hand, there are more important things than the number of
tabs and spaces in front of dependencies :-)
