The bug is about *default* use flags breaking interactivity. There are donzens of packages that die in pkg_setup if incorrect USE flags are sepcified, because use-dependencies are not implemented. I don't believe anyone is trying to enforce interactivity in that case, because as far as I'm aware there is no workaround present. -Alec Warner
