8369 You might find that you want to prevent installing certain
8370 packages when you are installing complementary packages.
8371 For example, if you are using
8372 <link linkend='var-IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></link>
8373 to install <filename>dev-pkgs</filename>, you might not want
8374 to install all packages from a particular multilib.
8375 If you find yourself in this situation, you can use the
8376 <filename>PACKAGE_EXCLUDE_COMPLEMENTARY</filename> variable
8377 to specify regular expressions to match the packages you
8378 want to exclude.
