what does "S" mean in emerge -p?

So if you do an emerge --pretend or emerge -p with portage 2.0.51_rc9
I'm seeing a new letter that I've never seen before on the kernel
sources:

[ebuild S ] sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r8

The man page for emerge hasn't been updated:
In the printout, N = new, U = upgrading, R = replacing, F = fetch
restricted, B = blocked by an already installed package.

So what does S mean?

Took me a while, but I found it in the source, I think.
If the S was green, this comment (# New slot, mark it new.) fits.
The S would get printed in the same place as N for new.

I think that slot are uses when multiple version of a packet can be use
like kernel sources, gtk etc ...
