Did you even read above? I clearly state WITHOUT -1 option.... |

The point is people should not have to do such. Or remember to always |
| 28 |
use -1 when re-emerging a dep, system, world, or set package. |

If those package are in your world file portage will not remove on |
| 35 |
depclean. |

Or you can add it to the world file, or your profile/packages |
| 41 |
in /etc/portage, etc. There are other places, one does not have to |
| 42 |
emerge every package then want in world. Just the same it should not |
| 43 |
add stuff just the same from system, world, sets, or deps of any of |
| 44 |
those 3. |

So now it must be clear to the user? That is the entire point I am |
| 50 |
making. The output now is not clear... But in improving such now there |
| 51 |
is concern over something no one cares about now.... Funny stuff!!! |
