8 3.5.0 packages should satisfy any such dependencies. Of course, if both
9 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 are masked in one way or another, portage's message will
10 probably refer to the latest version. Putting 3.5.0* package versions in
11 package.keywords should be sufficient. i've certainly not had anything
12 demand a 3.5.1 package on three very different (but all ~arch) boxes.
