Yeah, I don't think that statement was entirely accurate. Deplean
"normally" will not try to remove portage, because it satisfies the
virtual/package-manager requirement, which is in @system.
If, however, you have portage and another package satisfying
virtual/package-manager installed, and the other package was in your
world file, but portage wasn't then depclean *would* remove portage.
This is the recent behavior change, which is why some people were
surprised suddenly when nano or less or
insert_your_favorite_virtual_here was suddenly wanting to get unmerged
by --depclean.
