Why? On x86, alsa is the least broken sound system, and on x86, the
target for the default profiles is desktops, and most desktops have

| emboss - "Adds support for the European Molecular Biology Open

Because it makes sense. For any application which has IUSE="emboss",
chances are emboss should be enabled. There was a long discussion about
this on the -user list a while back where I ended up posting a
newbie-friendly explanation of the whole thing. Perhaps you could hunt
it down on marc or gmane and post a link here...
