Description

```
For package x11-libs-3/gtk+ found cycle: [x11-libs-3/gtk+ net-print/cups net-dns/avahi]
🚧 warning Stage4: [x11-libs-3/gtk+] Error on add deps to levels. Skip package - Cycle for package x11-libs-3/gtk+
```
I don't like having dep cycles. We need to study if we can split `avahi` ebuild with an `avahi-gtk` package in order to fix this or split gtk colord stuff in a separated package.

Research direction

Start by tracing the dependency cycle among x11-libs-3/gtk+, net-print/cups, and net-dns/avahi, focusing on the Stage4 dependency-resolution warning. Investigate whether avahi can be split into an avahi-gtk package or GTK color-management dependencies separated as described. Done means Stage4 can add dependency levels for gtk+ without reporting a cycle.
