let's say you want to install a package "A" which depends on "B" and
"C", if you emerge these 3 packages with emerge -av A B C, the package
B and C won't be removed when you'll uninstall A and you'll have
unneeded dependencies installed on your system !

If you install only A with emerge -av A and let portage manage the
dependencies for you, your system will still "clean" !

Boris.
