The reason why it would be beneficial to use is the pkg_pretend phase is simply that the checks would run at the beginning of a emerge and it would fail directly instead somewhere in the middle. For a single package it won't change much but for a huge emerge it changes the things. But when there is no writing allowed during the pretend phase. then the only chance is to move it to pkg_setup. thanks for clarification.
