If it does, it's a bug in Portage.
If you've got foo[bar] installed, and the user tries to install
foo[-bar], and foo[bar] DEPENDs upon foo[bar], that has to be allowed as
a generalisation of handling || ( foo foo-bin ).
Conversely, if foo isn't installed at all, then foo[bar] as a dependency
must not be met even if the user is installing foo[bar].
Dependencies on self must match the previously installed package, not
the thing being installed at the time.
