Ahhh.. So because something I have installed depends on app-editors/emacs, 
that did not get removed and because app-editors/nano was not in the world 
file and virtual/editor was already fulfilled by app-editors/emacs, depclean 
was happy to get rid of it.

In that case, is app-editors/nano in the world file on a new setup? If not, 
should it be?
