I asked this same question earlier this year and got a perfect solution from Mike Kazantsev along with help from Boris Fersing. Edit (or create) /etc/portage/sets.conf and put this inside: [kernels] class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet world-candidate = False files = /usr/src Then edit/create /var/lib/portage/world_sets and add this line: @kernels Now --depclean should never try to remove your kernel packages! It works great for me.
