Even with USE='-mule', the tarball is downloaded and unpacked, and the distfile
is left behind. Not really a problem, but a waste of space, time, and
bandwidth.

this is true... the main problem here is that the SRC_URI must remain static
(not depend on use flags) so that the MD5 sum information makes sense.

what ebuild are you talking about ?
SRC_URI now supports USE variables

*now* being the keyword there.

this is fixed in the new ebuild i have for xemacs-21.4.9 (minor version bump)
