Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] Should IUSE include flags specified in "Built with USE Dependencies"

1 Given the following DEPENDency:
2 this-flag? (app-misc/foo[that-flag])
3
4 The respective ebuild should include 'this-flag' in IUSE.
5 should it also include 'that-flag'?
6
7 The manpage says all USE flags "leveraged" by the ebuild should be
8 included in IUSE. I understand this as telling me to include said flag,
9 but I'm in-doubt.
