17 I would vote for the first one, I still don't like "openrc" USE flag
18 approach much because:
19 1. Would need to rebuild some packages when switching between init
20 systems.
21 2. I remember (from "logrotate" USE flag case) that using an USE flag
22 for simply installing or not a file is not usually preferred :-/
