Ok, first it's not about paludis,portage,pkgcore,whatever but about the
ebuild-format. Paludis also fails if you have DEPEND="cat/foo[moo]" in
bar-0.1.ebuild but cat/foo doesn't have a "moo" USE flag.

So, please let's focus on the problems we have and try to find a
solution. Please fill in the blanks in the table if you know how portage
has it implemented.

And I used the word "fast" because people start to use use-dependencies
on a larger scale leading to more problems like the one I described in
the example. In fact, you could already say that for git the dep-tree is
broken because newer subversion doesn't carry the "dso" USE flag
anymore.

Well, 2 weeks discussion and 1 month implementation would be cool.
