My understanding of comment #9 of bug 5239 is that dep-clean is going away?
emerge dep-clean only gives part of the information that dep-clean gives..
What's lacking (and that's clearly a portage bug) is that I can't find the new
version of the packages that are not in world but dependencies of world. 

There should be a "emerge -u all" that would not check in world, but check for
new versions of all installed packages... I dont see why that would be this hard
to do.. Or maybe just check all the dependencies of world/system and check if
they are up to date...

emerge -u --deep world

Besides that, what does dep-clean have?
If there is some userful functionality missing, lemme know.

maybe document the --deep option

Other than that.. no I dont see anything.. so I'm closing ;)

A minor quibble, but man emerge doesn't mention --deep at all, although it does
seem to work.
