My (wrong?) understanding was that this is addressed when portage runs a 
fixpackages (otherwise what's it doing to all those binary packages?). I ask 
because its no secret that I'm working on a split up of dev-perl from the 
500+ packages to a better organized, reasonable scenario where packages are 
categorized based on, well, category :) rather than on the fact that they 
"contain some perl bits or module bits, stuff them in dev-perl". 

Just curious, it's not my intent to hurt anyone's trees along the way :)
