I think it only adds packages that are not a dependency of something else, which may result in a world file that is too lean and over-enthusiastic depcleaning later on. Another method, a time consuming one, is to remove the world file and run emerge -p --depclean. Then emerge -n anything in the output that you use directly. Rinse and repeat. Eventually the depclean output will only contain unneeded packages, at which point you can run it in anger. -- Neil Bothwick People who eat natural foods die from natural causes.
