Unless the dependencies of a package change (or you changed the resulting set of dependencies via USE changes), they aren't usually a whole lot of deps to clean. That's my experience anyway. When I'm flailing around a lot in package.use I'll have dozens but otherwise its usually just one or two here and there.
