[gentoo-dev] BIND masked issue

Hey all, I have a question. I was informed that bind-8.2.3 package was
failing to emerge due to being masked. On further investigation of that I
discovered that it's not masked and only noticed the following things.

DEPEND="virtual/glibc sys-apps/groff sys-devel/flex"
RDEPEND="virtual/glibc"

I removed the RDEPEND cause it seems redundant, and it's not like glibc
will ever not be installed anyway.

I then changed the depend line to 
DEPEND="virtual/glibc 
      >=sys-apps/groff-1.16.1 
      >=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4"

My question is, is the way it was correct? Can we do that (sys-apps/groff)
notation for non-virtual DEPENDS? I woulnd't advise it anyway as I'd think
it best if we only allow packages to emerge against DEPENDS that we know to
work.
