I don't quite see why this is necessary? Or why you do have this discussion?

So, in netscape-flash:
RDEPEND="
ssl? ( foo/libflashsupport )
pulseaudio? ( foo/libflashsupport )
esd? ( foo/libflashsupport )
oss? ( foo/libflashsupport )
"
and IUSE="ssl pulseaudio esd oss gnutls" in libflashsupport (which, as
