We have that with gtk and gtk2, and users don't understand it. We are at
about 1 bug report / week for that due to the nesting (one turn on/off
and one prefer-gtk2) 

I'd still prefer that the python ebuild was fixed to be:
DEPEND="tcltk? ( X? ( >=dev-lang/tk-8.4 )) " instead of breaking it
further.
