Just look at how much packages there are which has a "test" useflag to add dependencies. There are quite a few.

Not for me. We don't have an useflag for USER documentation (doc useflag
should relate with API doc afaik). Also, most of the packages doesn't provide
options to enable/disable man pages, and this would require "use man || rm
-rf ${D}/usr/share/man" in quite every ebuild, that sucks great.
