Hi,

This is a minor feature request. 
I just was looking for a way to silent the output of depclean. I really don't need a full list of every package and their reason why it's pulled.. The list is huge and i never look at it anyway. Using -q doesn't work btw.
Only the list of packages which would get actually removed is important.
Would be nice to have an option to silent this output :)

It looks like you have -v in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, because I see that -v causes it to show dependencies regardless of -q.

Oh.. Well, nevermind, you're right..
Actually it wasn't set in my make.conf but in my alias for cleaning up..

Thanks for the hint, gonna close this bug.
