7 We also have similar problems because sometimes there are supports which just
8 works for some packages because the same useflag enables other things we
9 can't support.
10 Just for example, xorg-x11's pam flag load to compilation failures on OpenPAM
11 systems (yeah I should work around that but I don't know the server too much,
12 also if lately I'm having troubles..) but the rest of the pam support is
13 usually ok.
