Oops, no, i'm wrong: when a masked package is in world but is not |
| 9 |
depended-on by anything else, world update will not fail with the |
| 10 |
comments from package.mask, but simply point to emaint and then |
| 11 |
continue, ignoring the package. And `emaint --check world` does |
| 12 |
not seem to report comments from package.mask, so my solution is |
| 13 |
not that good neither to inform users about what's happening in |
| 14 |
such a case. |

There is still the solution of the dummy ebuild with some relevant |
| 17 |
einfo to replace the actual deprecated package (i think i've seen |
| 18 |
that in the past, winex-cvs for instance IIRC), but that's ugly :/ |
