Well, that's another problem we have there. I really like the ffmpeg
idea of 'bindist' not doing anything by itself. If all packages did
that, I would see no problem with having global meaningful 'bindist'.

But if in some cases USE=bindist does something, then I believe ffmpeg
should describe that it just 'enforces REQUIRED_USE contraints' with no
hidden magic beneath.
