Hi,

I run --depclean -p every once in a while just to clean out any cruft.
This has me confused:

I get the gentoo-sources, no big deal. The java thing wouldn't exactly
break my system either but the pwdb which pam depends on, well, wouldn't
that be bad to remove?

What's the deal? Remove it? Remove it and death will be painful and
slow? o_O
