++ , it makes no sense to not explicitly depend on this, when a
package needs it.  That's one of the reasons why things that use
functions.sh now fail when openrc wassn't installed (openrc being the
provider, until now).

Eww, no.  This is a bash script; the C internal functions that are in
openrc already are way better for openrc to use.  However, yes, both
of these packages should be able to be installed at the same time.

(note, there was a short discussion about separating einfo/libeinfo
into its own package and having openrc depend on it, but it was
rejected.  if -that- happened then it would make more sense to go this
direction)
