That may well be the way it IS, but it certainly is not the way it SHOULD BE. |

The only sane way to do this is: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
if (pkgmgr=portage) |
| 15 |
python in @system |
| 16 |
else |
| 17 |
python !in system |
| 18 |
end |
| 19 |

Any other rendition is just insanely crazy and whilst it may be per spec, is |
| 21 |
more like the way Windows works than the way Gentoo works.... Plus it violates |
| 22 |
the principle of no unexpected side-effects. |

Conditionals includes into system should have been in place before this change |
| 25 |
was made. |
