Actually it does, but the emerge -p output does not show that. Looks 
like /etc/portage/bashrc is evaluated by /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh, 
and this is involved only when something is unpacked, compiled, installed, 
and such. Sorry. You could put a
    echo "LINGUAS=$LINGUAS"
into /etc/portage/package.env/sys-apps/man-pages to check. But in this 
case -linguas_de in /etc/portage/package.use is the far better approach of 
course.
