[gentoo-dev] Implicit system dependencies

[Michael]

Hi,

I wrote a script to search for discrepancies between linked libraries and 
what's defined in (R)DEPEND, with the intention of improving QA for minimal 
package installs.

The devmanual seems to suggest that it's a bad thing for packages to 
explicitly depend on packages in the system set, while many packages in the 
tree do indeed explicitly depend upon packages such as zlib and ncurses.

Any thoughts to as how far I should go with filing bugs regarding this 
issue?

Best regards,
Michael
