Use Flags
Use flags are keywords that define compile options on a system-wide basis.
All flags can be prefixed with ‘-’ to unset a default flag.
Use flag examples: cups, X, java, ldap, kde, gnome.
For example take rp-pppoe (PPPoE client), it has a nice (optional) X frontend for configuration. If X is in your use flags, this package will depend on X, otherwise it won’t (ie, for a router/firewall box).
