THAT LOOKS LIKE YOUR PROBLEM. |

If daemontools has been pulled in because it's explicitly named in |
| 9 |
world, then emerge will (quite reasonably) assume that openrc (which is |
| 10 |
an implied dependency) can be dispensed with. |

In other words, if one member of a virtual package is explicitly |
| 13 |
installed, all the other members can be dispensed with. Changing this is |
| 14 |
likely to cause breakage all over the place!!! |

Okay, it's a nasty surprise to discover that installing a package with |
| 17 |
multiple uses can make the system assume you're using it for things |
| 18 |
you're not, but I think the only *workable* fix is, as others have said, |
| 19 |
to add openrc to the world set. |

You've explicitly pulled in a boot manager package. You can't expect |
| 22 |
portage to keep a bunch of implicit package managers (systemd, sysV, |
| 23 |
openrc etc) lying around when you haven't asked for them. I've installed |
| 24 |
postfix as my mailer - I don't want exim, sendmail, etc etc lying around |
| 25 |
"just in case". |
