No.  The USE flag is only for packages where MySQL is optional.  If a 
package can't be used without MySQL, there's no "mysql" USE flag for it.

No, that one has MySQL as an optional dep and therefore it obeys the 
"mysql" USE flag.  To see which installed packages pull-in mysql, use:

   equery depends mysql

If the output starts with "(mysql?" then that package only pulls mysql 
if the USE flag is set.  If it shows a package pulling mysql without the 
"(mysql?" part, then you've found the culprit.
