USE=test is a special USE flag set by Portage if FEATURES=test, and the |

two are supposed to be equivalent (the USE flag existing because |
| 7 |
FEATURES isn't suitable for anything that's metadata invariant). |

Unfortunately, Portage doesn't magically treat the flag as forced / |
| 10 |
masked, so it's possible for users who ignore the use description to |
| 11 |
set one without the other. |
