ok, at the moment you can't even install this mess:

merge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.3.2:5[debug=,widgets]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.3.2-r1::gentoo (Missing IUSE: widgets)
(dependency required by "dev-qt/qtquick1-5.3.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-frameworks/plasma-5.2.0::kde" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@kde-frameworks-5.2" [argument])

yepp, three ebuilds depending on qtwebkit with the widgets useflag -
that it doesn't even have. Oh joy. And that after 2h+ dealing with other
useflag related shenanigans.

btw from the changelog:

  25 Sep 2014; Michael Palimaka <kensington@gentoo.org> metadata.xml:
  Remove unused USE flag.

that unused useflag wasn't 'widgets' by chance? ^^
