I set -semantic-desktop in my /etc/make.conf.  I unmerged akonadi.  Then 
remerged:

 kde-base/kdelibs 
 kde-base/gwenview 
 kde-base/kget 
 kde-base/dolphin 
 kde-base/kmail 
 kde-base/kdebase-meta 
 kde-base/kdeaddons-meta

These were all the packages that contained a semantic-desktop USE flag.  Now I 
get this:

# emerge -uatDv world

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge      ] kde-base/kdepim-meta-4.3.1  USE="(-kdeprefix)" 
[ebuild  N    ]  kde-base/akonadi-4.3.1  USE="(-aqua) -debug (-kdeprefix) -
semantic-desktop" 0 kB

Which I guess proves the point that Dirk is making.  If I were to emerge 
akonadi again, will it pop up everytime I start kmail, knode, etc?
