9 Except that you're assuming all USE flags have a package that goes with them
10 here... For ALSA, alsa-lib may work, but for USE flags such as cdr or nocd,
11 there is no one package that would be depended on to rebuild applications.
12 Further, if the packages originally were compiled without the alsa USE flag,
13 they would not be depending on it and thus would not be rebuilt.
14 Such functionality would require special treatment for USE flags, and probably
15 wouldn't work too well with packages that don't use the system's default USE
16 flags.
