Put a space before the colon (or any delimiter you happen to prefer).
Both cpv:XYZ and cpv::ABC have a special meaning. If nothing else it
improves legibility through the simple application of whitespace.

As for the equal sign, portage should really simply support leaving it
out and interpret '=' as the default. Functionally there should be no
difference between '=a/b-c' and 'a/b-c' anyway, and yet it trips up
emerge.
