Uh, USE flags are not packages. You're misunderstanding how USE flags
work. Adding apache2 and emboss to the default USE flags does not mean
that users will get Apache or Emboss.

Having these USE flags in the defaults is entirely sensible and
correct, and provides expected behaviour for the majority of users.
Anyone claiming otherwise simply doesn't understand what's going on.
