I think the simplest solution would be to develop a generic USE flag that would only serve the purpose of forcing bundled dependencies for bootstrapping/initial install. We have already: build - !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used for creating build images and the first half of bootstrapping [make stage1] bootstrap - !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used during original system bootstrapping [make stage2] However, since both are marked for 'internal use only', I don't think it's a good idea to use them here. So I guess we need a new flag. Does anyone have suggestions how to name it? For a name, I doubt you'd find a name better than "independent". With USE description of "avoid dependencies known to cause circular dependency issues on initial installations"
