9 Then a simple variable would be better, since we cannot prefix an eclass like
10 e.g. "inherit <=kde-3.3". Both have in common that you still have more
11 dependencies than necessary, because the minimum is to inherit kdelibs, but
12 an application may depend on kdegraphics, which depends on kdelibs alrady.
13 Multiple eclasses would only be dupes, imho. Best would be, if Portage would
14 be smart enough to detect the minimum dependency set.

20 We'll have similar problems, when implementing a proper i18n solution. ~30
21 SRC_URI's in kde-i18n are not funny, k3b is another (different) sample.
22 Either we get a function to modify such stuff or Portage has to provide
23 decent support, but that's post .51 stuff.
