No I did not. mail-mta/ssmtp was part of stage3. And I did not
remove now any "thing" that pulled it in. All I did was
"emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse world".

As a result, python-exec, python-argparse and libxml2 were
reinstalled and automake-wrapper, gtk-doc-am, eselect and
linux-header updated. Nothing else.

After that I did "emerge --depclean" and the above mentioned
packages were suddenly removed...
