A potential dev-libs/dep package might have valid use case for USE flags related to USE_EXPAND="DEP". Your suggested syntax for types of dependencies in DEPENDENCIES would conflict with these USE flags after implementing ":" delimiter for USE_EXPAND-related USE flags.
I vote for a separate syntax for types of dependencies. -- Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
