It doesn't necessarily need to show any new dependencies to make use of
a new use flag.
for example, following is gnome-vfs with and without the samba and smb
use flags. As you can see, only one package is isntalled in both
occasions, but the behaviour of that package is different:
$ USE="-samba -smb" emerge -pv gnome-vfs
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2 USE="hal ipv6 ssl -debug -doc
-gnutls -howl -samba*" 0 kB
$ USE="samba smb" emerge -pv gnome-vfs
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2 USE="hal ipv6 samba ssl -debug
-doc -gnutls -howl" 0 kB
so just because you don't see any dependencies doesn't mean you won't
get the new behaviour.
It is strange though that a `emerge --newuse -p world` didn't show
anything to be remerged...
