I am a bit confused with the following USE flags:
=====================================================
# emerge -upDv world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
                                     ... done!

=====================================================

Why the -foomaticdb and -cups?

This is my emerge --info:

Look at `man emerge` (under --verbose) and/or bug #144661.

Thanks Bo, but I'm still confused.  Would a system use -- net-print/foomatic 
without foomaticdb?  I thought that they go together.  With regards to 
net-print/foomatic-db and (-cups%*) why has this been removed?
