On the contrary, the reverse of what you say is true. A simple grep of
the tree showed that:
95 ebuilds do "use\ \([a-zA-Z0-9]\+\).*\&\&.*built_with_use.*\ \1\ "
and 937 do "use.*\&\&.*built_with_use"
So, one would assume that ~842 ebuilds could make use of the
pkg[foo?bar] syntax.
Of course, this missed the ebuilds which do
if use blah; then
built_with_use ...
...
fi
But statistically, these numbers should be accurate.
