Am I correct in thinking that USE flags in

package?

To tell the truth, you can put either kind of use flag in either file.
The difference is what you want to apply the flag to.
If you want only a single package to have a "global" use flag set
differently from the rest of the system, you put it in package.use. If
you see a "local" flag that might later be used by other packages, or
is used by multiple packages, you might want to put it in make.conf.
