This is wrong.  Regardless of local to global, and vice versa, this
will not change the USE flag conflict detection.  However, some of
these flags are used elsewhere (as Stu has already noted), and I think
since they've been around a while, and can easily be used by other
new/old packages without changes to profiles/use.local.desc, they
should stay where they are (global).

Best,
