One USE flag I remember in particular bothering me was gnome-extra/gnome-games' guile USE flag. The global description says "guile - Adds support for the guile Scheme interpreter" but this flag is actually determines whether a number of games are installed by this package. There are lots of cases like this that need a local use flag that says what each flag actually does for the package. Matt
