Hi,

did you install portage-2.1.1 ?

Portage has now a new feature, it re-emerges a package when the IUSE
variable has changed :

 * In portage-2.1.1, emerge --newuse is now sensitive to changes in IUSE.
 * Immediately after upgrade from 2.1, users may notice a significantly larger
 * number of packages pulled in by --newuse, but that behavior is normal.
 * For additional information regarding this change, please see bugs #116955,
 * #144333, #144661, and #146060.
