I've at least been adding :0 to many packages, openssl, tiff, libpng ... ... pretty much ever since the libpng 1.4 "upgrade problem" in the past that reminded me that if something is possible, users will do it people masked >=media-libs/libpng-1.4 and they only got the :1.2 binary-only SLOT installed and ended up with no headers so having :0 forces the headers be there, and people don't get confused (at least if you read portage's output correctly)
