USE only affects optional dependencies. euse -I hal will list packages
that have a hal USE flag while emerge --depclean -pv sys-apps/hal will
show those that depend o it. If any appear i only the second list, they
probably have a compulsory dependency on hal. For example K3b shows up
like that here.
