hi !

afaik, that's not the name of the game, because:
generic example:
--package foo is up-to-date
--package bar gets updated
--foo depends on bar
if package foo needs e.g libs from package bar and bar
gets updated, foo is up-to-date only formally, i.e. the ebuild and
the sources are, but foo has to be recompiled
against the libs from bar nevertheless.
