Hi,

Recently I noticed an inconsistency between the behavior of 'emerge
-n' and the advise shown while executing 'emerge --depclean'.

emerge --depclean -pv
===snip
Also study the list of packages to be cleaned for any
obvious mistakes. Packages that are part of the world
set will always be kept. They can be manually added
to this set with `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.
===snip

But:

===quote
localhost ~ # grep python /var/lib/portage/world ###(<--No result)
localhost ~ # emerge --noreplace dev-lang/python
Calculating dependencies ..... ..... ..... ... done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

localhost ~ # grep python /var/lib/portage/world ###(<--Still no result)
localhost ~ #
===quote

Is this the normal behavior of portage or there's something wrong with
my installation?
