O.o

Care to share some of the packages causing this? Maybe some packages
have interactivity marked only in their later versions, and others
have it in their earlier ones?

As the feature is not advertised on the portage man-page it could also
be that it is still exceptionally buggy or non-functional somehow (but
the bug was closed ...) ... and also, maybe there is another way to do
this? This was the first one I found.

Ok, the box I tried that on was a mostly stable amd64, with only some
end-user programs and libs (like mozilla-firefox and xulrunner) on
testing. And naturally portage-2.2rc40, as you couldn't get kde4
without it the other year.
