We went over this already. We can't have client and server USE flags
because the meaning is totally different for every package. Plus the
'probably' really isn't good enough, since there are some packages that
have more specific dependency and the current "die in pkg_setup" stuff
is a real pain -- do we really want to see that becoming a regular
occurrence?
