euses does not provide an euse command, it only provides euses:

        $ equery -C f -f cmd euses
        /usr/bin/euses

gentoolkit does provide an euse command:

        $ e-file -c never euse

I assume, due to the provided arguments (`-p` and `-E`) that  the  bug  concerns
euse, and the reporter on BugZilla made a mistake due  to  the  strangely  named
packages.  Thus, my comment about "obscure quirks" is invalid in this particular
case, however my remarks regarding the peculiar  reliance  on  $PORTDIR  remain.
