That's not always true. If the overlay provides a version that is not in
portage, like a cat/pkg-9999 for a CVS/SVN ebuild, then a
version-specific entry in package.use will only affect the overlay
version.

However, /etc/portage/package.use is the correct place to set
package-specific USE variables fro all packages, no matter whether they
come from an overlay or the portage tree.
