Well, the subject really says it all. On bug #89056 it seems to be thought that the duplication is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm not sure this is such a great idea myself, since if the USE flag needs a separate description for a package, it means that the behaviour from that flag could be different from package to package. Currently most of the duplicated flags that I looked at are not at all different and are just restating the same thing in two files.
So, what do we want to do about this? Should we have some repoman warning if
a USE flag exists in both files, or should it be acceptable?
