But I will agree that this is the correct direction. Once both parts of the puzzle are in place, then I will support cutting USE=debug -- but not until one can reproduce its functionality sans hacks.

This is totally useless IMHO until you can set it on a per-package level, so they are related. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
