I think it only adds packages that are not a dependency of something |
| 10 |
else, which may result in a world file that is too lean and |
| 11 |
over-enthusiastic depcleaning later on. |

Another method, a time consuming one, is to remove the world file and run |
| 14 |
emerge -p --depclean. Then emerge -n anything in the output that you use |
| 15 |
directly. Rinse and repeat. Eventually the depclean output will only |
| 16 |
contain unneeded packages, at which point you can run it in anger. |
