This is used by "/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0" for
example, so I have "cups" in default NON-DESKTOP profile like it was a
mandatory useflag.
Is it? I don't even have a printer and expect that profile to be the
very minimum.
This would rather be a useflag for targets/desktop/make.defaults imo.
I see a similar discussion has happened 2 years ago, but I don't see a
solution there.
I would argue (and I did 2 years ago) that it doesn't belong even in
the desktop profile. I'm certainly not the only desktop user who
hasn't had a printer in years.

+1 for getting rid of it everywhere in profiles, it's one of those steps
you do during installation as first thing,
set USE="-cups" (when you realize GTK+ pulling it in for printing
widgets/dialogs)
