For the case that this was not clear: This is what I meant. You would have a hard time to fix the dependencies in your overlay "directly" in any other way than by editing the value of PYTHON_COMPAT in the ebuild in your overlay. However, this is only about *how* you modify the ebuild; my point was that with current portage you *cannot avoid* to modify the ebuild.
