14 Yes. If a world update with "--deep --with-bdeps y" doesn't touch a
15 package, you should either let depclean remove it or add it to world.

17 It means the package is not a dependency of anything in world, either
18 know you need it because you use it, in which case it should be in world,
19 or it is a no longer needed dependency and should be cleaned up.
