Embedded GLEP eh?
You two are the ones trying to distort the meaning of RDEPEND= 
simply because the depclean is broken for the cases you make.

Where is your GLEP for this? Where is a real like example?
I'm sure you can dig back in the tree and show us something you had to 
fix in the tree if this is such a problem as you were asserting 
last night. While your at it please go ahead and show us the code that
resolves the case for everybody so this silly thread can end.

I've already busted by ass and fixed the vital broken packages and
eclasses which INCORRECTLY included linux-headers etc in RDEPEND= we
already worked with releng and other groups to ensure that things
function properly, so heh no GLEP is needed from embedded as things
are/were functioning correctly.
