7 Yes this is correct. I see now I was far too wordy in the OP and
8 thank you for your terse translation!

10 Typically when I solve a "gentoo system problem" by adding modifying
11 package.use, I am doing something wrong. (e.g. ruby_targets_ruby19).

13 I gather that the udev/hwdb/udisk case is an exception. The "correct
14 way" to solve this "gentoo system problem" is to "echo sys-fs/udev
15 hwdb >> /etc/portage/package.use"
