And this « with their required dependencies » Appear to be part of what is tripping me up; in the original email, app-text/asciidoc is both ineligible for depclean and a required dependency of a selected package, AIUI. So it should be in @world, but it took some time to find the right invocation to make that apparent. I think it makes a bit more sense now, so I agree these suggestions are good. Equery doesn’t show it when listing @world, which I would say is a bug. I’ll have a look to see if I can improve that. Meanwhile, the wiki recommendations should probably be altered (_e.g._, to drop -O from the emerge version).
