general-concepts/ebuild-revisions: note that build failures may be a missing
rdepend
If, for example, a "qtcore" missing dependency results in a src_configure
failure and a bug is filed, that doesn't mean a revbump can be skipped,
as for others, if they had qtcore installed already, the package is
silently linked against it without it being recorded as a dependency.
