I wrote the script that generates the new files.

It reads categories from $REPO_DIR/profiles/catogories
Then per category it runs down each package in os.listdir() order.

The use flags are output on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The script could possibly sort entries (sort categories; sort listdir
output, keep per-package use flags in memory and sort them).  File a
bug to me if you want this.
