For core stuff, I especially recommend *not* using package.mask and
using KEYWORDS="-*" instead. Otherwise weird things can happen in
relation to the x86 and selinux profiles. package.mask doesn't work well
for profiles that share the same masking keyword, particularly when you
get around to removing the entry in package.mask.
