A USE flag should have the same meaning for every pack. In that sense |
| 9 |
the basic description should suffice anywhere, any local information |

should only extend the common description. Defining descriptions in |
| 11 |
every ebuild would mostly be a duplication effort and be a source of |
| 12 |
confusion. |
