Um... package, or USE flag? You mention the USE flag but then say the package, but don't mention the=20 category in either the subject or body, which again tilts toward the USE=20 flag as it's bare, while the package normally comes with a category,=20 particularly given that there are two such packages in the tree so the=20 package name alone is ambiguous. But since there's two packages and a=20 USE flag and there's reasons to argue one way but you specifically said=20 the other, which is ambiguous on its own, it's doubly ambiguous! --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
