It's explained in the manual page (sorry :)

Manual means manually added to the list by python-updater, rather than
using any sort of detection.

If it can determine that that's the case, yes. Packages are added
manually because python-updater cannot tell for sure whether they should
be rebuilt this time. That's certainly true for ooo-bin and boost, lnd
prevented by -dmanual. app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs seems
different, I've just been hit by this one, so I ignored it after the
first build. I suspect a bug has already been reported.

If at first you don't succeed, you'll get a lot of free advice from
folks who didn't succeed either.
