Default emerge dependency

Is there any way to tell what package(s)
cause the 'N' or new package required in
an 'emerge -Up world'?
I have several of these and would like
to know why in each case. (or who the
depending package is)
TIA
-Walt

'emerge -Upv' (notice the 'v' to get a list of the used USE flags) will
answer most of them, if not use etcat and qpkg (emerge gentoolkit) or have
a look at the ebuilds directly.
