Ok, your systemd is built with USE=sysv-utils. |

When the flag is on the symlinks are created. They're only missing |
| 27 |
(from systemd) when the flag is off. |

You have them because the default is USE=sysv-utils, which installs |
| 33 |
the symlinks. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The real question is why euse didn't show you has having the flag |
| 36 |
enabled. That I'm not sure about. It shows it as enabled on my |
| 37 |
system. I'd have to dig into where it is getting its data and how |
| 38 |
this might get out of sync. |

|

To avoid a second email - a lack of depcleaning might explain why |
| 41 |
software like openrc/netifrc is still installed. I don't believe it |
| 42 |
has anything to do with the output of euse. |
