Description Donald 2011-05-30 03:08:02 UTC 
We need an entry in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc to explain what the bindist flag actually does for this package.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
equery u thunderbird (with >=app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3)

Actual Results:  
 * Found these USE flags for mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.10:
 U I
 [...]
 - - bindist              : Flag to enable or disable options for prebuilt
                            (GRP)  packages (eg. due to licensing issues)
 [...]


Expected Results:  
An explanation that (apparently) enabling bindist disables "official branding". (And why is this useful/necessary?)
