It seems the man page is not complete. It mentions the -k of

equery m -k package
The former omits overlays, but the latter seems to include them.
The two have different output formats, but seem to include the same
information.
Thank you very much Jack.
I'll have to retrain myself to use m -k / m -u in place of keywords /
uses.
But this does provide the desired information.
It took me many years to remember to check both "program -h" and also
"man program" (and occasionally "info program") because they do not
always provide the same information.
