So, you prefer to make ugly mess of deps here like i posted before or
introduce some really unneded USE-flag like 'gui', 'qt', etc. to make
users even more confused?

Really, look at man-db ebuild. Especially on berkdb and gdbm USE flags.
And dependency string like this:

!berkdb? ( !gdbm? ( sys-libs/gdbm ) )

One sentence: "WHAT THE HELL?"

Imagine that it would be dozen of flags. Is it fun to mess with deps
like this for you?
