Seems like the simpler solution is to just have a dep on -static |
| 7 |
lvm/cryptsetup for those packages. Users who want to use static |
| 8 |
lvm/cryptsetup will not be able to use udev/kmod. |

The issue with the virtual and confusing error messages that result |
| 11 |
seems less simple to resolve. That sounds more like a bug in portage |
| 12 |
though. If I have virtual/udev[static] installed and I want to |
| 13 |
install gnome I should just get an error indicating that to install |
| 14 |
gnome I need to drop the static USE for virtual/udev. Some of |
| 15 |
portage's error messages are a bit cryptic but that shouldn't be a |
| 16 |
reason to force a package to drop a non-default USE flag. |

I'll freely admit that I could be missing some nuance here. |
