You could just install the packages that emerge -p --depclean complained about.
And this is rare anyway. I for example have a lot of packages that
would be installed with a emerge -pDuNv --with-bdeps=y world, but
emerge -p --depc runs fine.
In the exceptional case that emerge -p --depc complains, you install
the required package.
