Sounds like: |

|

qt - GLOBAL use flag that causes the package to build against the good version |
| 23 |
for that package. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
qt3, qt4... - LOCAL use flags to build against specific versions of |
| 26 |
qt when it makes sense on a per-package basis and when it's deemed to |
| 27 |
be reasonable by the package maintainer. Easy to keep track of because |
| 28 |
they'd all be in use.local.desc. |
