I made a stupid mistake by adding the separate usleep command to Portage. I didn't realize the correct usleep command is already in the tree as part of the app-admin/killproc suite. Please fix pv's ebuild to reference app-admin/killproc instead of sys-apps/usleep so I can remove usleep from portage. Bug 467212
I've just gone and removed the faux dependency altogether. First of all, no one knows that installing something providing usleep will make a certain test in the pv package run slightly faster. I could add a notice in src_test() to make that clear, but without a usleep command, instead of a fifth of a second, the test will now wait a full second. Instead of 3 seconds, tests/019-remote-cksum now takes 15 seconds. That's excluding the initial 2 second nap before that particular test even begins, so overall, useless sleep has gone up from 5 seconds to 17 seconds. :)
