Um... package, or USE flag?
You mention the USE flag but then say the package, but don't mention the
category in either the subject or body, which again tilts toward the USE
flag as it's bare, while the package normally comes with a category,
particularly given that there are two such packages in the tree so the
package name alone is ambiguous. But since there's two packages and a
USE flag and there's reasons to argue one way but you specifically said
the other, which is ambiguous on its own, it's doubly ambiguous!
