Now that we've changed from linux_base[-rh7] to linux_base-8 as the
default linux base we've entered dependency hell. :-(

Previously print/acroread[5] depended only on linux_base.
Now acroread depends on x11/linux-XFree86-libs, which depends on
x11-fonts/linux-fontconfig, which depends on textproc/linux-expat, which
finally depends on linux_base-8.

Is this really what we want to do?  Go from a single complete and
comprehensive dependency to four?
