It's kinda case of "italian strike" - doing the job to the letter ;)

That's where portage-2.2 sets find another use.
Just add following set to /usr/share/portage/config/sets.conf:

  [kernels]
  class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
  world-candidate = False
  files = /usr/src

And append "@kernels" line to /var/lib/portage/world_sets
Now any installed (even with -1) kernel should be safe from ravenous
depclean.
