Explicitly indicate that the ebuild is required to provide appropriate |

DEPEND for := to have a matching package installed. Additionally ban |

the cases where := can not be reliably used or does not make any sense: |
| 4 |
PDEPEND (because by intent the dependency can not be in DEPEND), |
| 5 |
and any-of groups (because the non-binding nature of any-of group |
| 6 |
collides with binding nature of :=). |
