I would vote for the first one, I still don't like "openrc" USE flag
approach much because:
1. Would need to rebuild some packages when switching between init

2. I remember (from "logrotate" USE flag case) that using an USE flag
for simply installing or not a file is not usually preferred :-/

Best regards
