        More specifically, -u looks at all of the dependencies of the specified 
package (or group) to see if any of them has an upgrade available -- 
whether needed or not.  Normal "emerge somepackage" only checks the 
package itself, and will only display dependency upgrades if they are 
required to bring the specified package up to the new level.
