The script has a list of packages which should be updated
completely automatically, but *only* if they're pulled in as
dependency (beginning from world), and others not in that list
should *not* be updated.
If I'm understanding you correctly then you might find `eix -Iu --only-
names` to find a list of packages which are installed on the system,
but not up to date. You can use `equery d category/atom` to see if the
package has any dependencies.
Stroller.
