What is the proper procedure to ask for some modification in a ebuild?
(Bugs as well as feature requests...)

My current concrete example: gtk+ 3.* has a configuration option
--enable-debug=[no/minimum/yes] (default=debug_default)

There is no USE variable to control this. From what I [think I]
understood, the default is set in the source file configure.ac, which
sets debug_default to "yes"! This has the effect that it is impossible
to launch gtk applications (e.g., zathura) from a terminal and still
do something useful with the terminal, which gets spammed no-end with
obnoxious messages about stuff the user cannot do anything about,
anyway.

If I'm not mistaken about the effect of --enable-debug, this
upstream-caused problem would be easily fixed for gentooers.


TIA
