nvidia-drivers don't include nvidia-settings. They should PDEPEND on it. The behavior is correct.
According to equery, it does: # equery f nvidia-drivers |grep /usr/bin/nvidia-settings /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
The ebuild was masked and the mask notice said it was under development, expect things to change. Including files that get installed... Guess what, things changed.
True, but AFAIR there was this transition period, that freshly built nvidia-drivers both installed /usr/bin/nvidia-settings and tried to pull in media-video/nvidia-settings (collision). That's why this bug was filed in the first place.
No. They never did. I added the PDEPEND in the same commit that I removed the building of nvidia-settings in the drivers.
