Is it safe to remove an entry from package.use (in profiles) if the
package has an IUSE default for the respective flag?
To be more concrete, Emacs ebuilds have IUSE="+xpm" now, but we still
have an entry "app-editors/emacs xpm" in profiles/base/package.use
which I would like to remove. As I understand it, the two methods are
adjacent in USE ordering, so nothing should change for users?

Correct. Assuming the user has an EAPI=1 capable package manager, which at
this point in time they really should.

If they don't, then they won't be able to install emacs anyway since all
its ebuilds have EAPI 1.
