 I don't know if there is a bug somewhere (I did not find one), but
what about having the possibility to ask for one out many USE flags of
a dependency.  For example app-misc/gramps needs dev-lang/python with
USE=berkdb or USE=sqlite, but Portage won't tell the user that he can
enable one but always asks for the first in the || () string.
