You need to emerge "media-tv/mythtv", not just "mythtv". Nothing
ambiguous about it.

You just pointed out the ambiguity.

Emerging a package solely by its name worked 99.9% of the time before this change.

Now new users get the fun of "Gee, which one is the one I actually want?" MythTV is a fairly clear one to figure out, but other packages aren't.

I understand the dependencies problem that they were trying to solve, but I don't think the way it was implemented is a great one.
