we have many local gpg useflags which basically just enable gpg. Should we merge these to one global useflag?Additionally we have a few gpgme useflags.

I am always confused when people use "gpg" to talk about OpenPGP.
Yeah, typical case of "formally correct thing being way more difficult to understand than colloquially practical thing" ...
It is only a matter of time until the more users of gnupg-alternative libraries, like sequoia or librnp, appear. USE=gpg is probably already sometimes a misnomer, and will definitely be one if we make it a global USE flag and there are packages that declare it without pulling in gpg.
