Use dependencies are possible. Use dependency defaults are not. So: DEPEND="dev-lang/python[-build]" would be ok so long as all versions of python either have build in IUSE or are EAPI 3 and have build in IUSE_IMPLICIT. DEPEND="dev-lang/python[-build(-)]" would be ok so long as build is not in IUSE_IMPLICIT, regardless of build's status in IUSE. As you can see, implicit flags mess things up lots... No big deal for USERLAND et al, but they're a pain in the ass for 'normal' flags. -- Ciaran McCreesh
