Created attachment 44585 [details, diff] Inicial patch to permit this feature
I'm not sure this is a good idea. It allows packages to diverge from the dependency-installed versions to randomly updated versions. As implemented seems harmless to the world file though.
Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
Reopening for duping
