In this case the ebuild should have only ssl use flag. |

The policy is that USE="ssl" controls whether to enable ssl support in |
| 18 |
general. Then the specific use flags like gnutls and openssl control |
| 19 |
what implementation to use if the package supports multiple. |

|
| 21 |
USE="ssl" --> should always give you ssl support |
