35 let's say you want to install a package "A" which depends on "B" and
36 "C", if you emerge these 3 packages with emerge -av A B C, the package
37 B and C won't be removed when you'll uninstall A and you'll have
38 unneeded dependencies installed on your system !
39
40 If you install only A with emerge -av A and let portage manage the
41 dependencies for you, your system will still "clean" !
