I know that, in general principle. But it's a test environment. I'd assume stricter standards of "purity" there than elsewhere. simply going by changed-use can break some library dependencies. We need to use depclean to remove build deps junk after the emptytree, and we're revdep-rebuilding twice in case the depclean borked something. (To be really strict, revdep-rebuild should be repeated until it stops building things...) Heck in some setups empty-tree will simply fail thanks to circular deps of the global use flags and you'll need manual intervention to bootstrap a package with less USE...
