This is fine, if you use `emerge -1`. That installs the package (thus 
fulfilling the dependency) without adding to the world file. 

If you specify the package version and emerge without the `--oneshot` flag, 
then the package version will be added to the world file, and thus the package 
version will be "pinned", and be a problem during updates.

I would edit your world file with a text editor and remove these packages. They 
will still remain on your system, and they will still fulfil the Plasma's 
dependencies.

Stroller.
