depclean wants to remove package, but can I do it?

Hi!

Please, forgive me my ignorance, but I try to understand how things works.
After recent update I try to do cleanup, but got into confusing (at least for me) situation.

Trying to depcleand I got this:

We routinely tell people not to use equery depends here because of exactly the problem you saw. It reports potential dependencies, which can apply for some possible system configuration. emerge --depclean considers active dependencies, which apply on the currently configured system. In this specific case, every consumer is conditionally dependent on tcl/tk if the right USE flag is enabled. You don't have that flag enabled, so you don't depend on tcl/tk. emerge --depclean is correct. equery depends is misleading you, and should be ignored.

Thank you.
Proceeding with depclean.
