Lets say a package foo depends on bar, both at compile time and run time. Shouldn't DEPEND _and_ RDEPEND of the foo package reflect that dependency? I usually set DEPEND="$RDEPEND ..." or vice-versa (depending on which is the most demanding). Am I utterly wrong here? I know that when a package is installed the usual way (not from a binary tarball) dependencies==RDEPEND+DEPEND, but portage functionality could change in the future. It may not be the wisest decision ever made, but portage could very well remove whatever dependencies are found in DEPEND - RDEPEND, once the package is installed.
