Alan,
Seems reasonable. Would I (Could I?) then do an equery depends on
each binary and assuming nothing depends on it remove them by hand
without causing damage?
I'd want to do another revdep-rebuild every so often to ensure that
things remained consistent.
Makes sense to me - doing the equery on the package that installed the
binary (which may have a name unrelated).
IIUC, there are two tools useful for second/third opinions for this task;
dep and pquery. Here's an example of their use on fftw:
dep -L fftw
pquery --vdb --revdep sci-libs/fftw
And as you idicated, do a revdep-rebuild after the manual deletion.
