I wonder why emerge doesn't do something like this by default,
actually. Say a package has a serious exploit and an update was made.
If the package isn't in world, emerge will never grab the update.
If it's not is world, or a dependency of a world package, it's not needed
and --depclean will catch it.
No, it will not :P Don't ask me why, because I don't know. I only know
from experience that --depclean does not catch some packages that get
updated with "emerge -1u `qlist -IC`" (and don't get updated with
"emerge -uD world system").
