Notes on pkg_pretend
The pkg_pretend phase can be used to do sanity checks
before the main phase function sequence is run (meaning this phase is
executed after the package manager has calculated the dependencies
and before installing them).
This phase typically checks for a kernel configuration and may
eerror and die when needed.
Important:
There is no guarantee that the ebuild's dependencies are installed
when this phase is called.
Important:
As
pkg_pretend is not called in the main phase function
sequence, environment saving is not guaranteed.
