If you want to solve it by a USE-flag, add this flag to |
| 8 |
virtual/service-manager. One could even make it an expand-USE flag, |
| 9 |
containing the service manager(s) you want to use. (And have a |
| 10 |
restriction that at least one use flag must be selected.) |

This has not only the advantage that a re-emerge of a virtual costs |
| 13 |
practically no time when you want to change it, you can also say |
| 14 |
that you consider more than one service manager crucial for your system. |

Actually, not only here but in many || cases some USE-flags would not |
| 17 |
hurt. |

That being said, the world file has actually exactly the purpose of |
| 20 |
informing portage about the packages you want to keep, so doing this |
| 21 |
in a virtual is overkill, and actually there is nothing wrong with |
| 22 |
the current setup. Maybe more user information in the handbook would |
| 23 |
be a good thing. Gentoo relies on informed users. |
