Yes, I would welcome such a change. The 'mozilla' use flag should imho
not be used to determine whether or not the user has a mozilla-based web
browser, but weather or not the user wishes to link software against
mozilla libraries (which will require net-www/mozilla to be installed).

I agree. The mozilla use flag in evolution and gaim are fine.
