From bug #44796 comment #77: When I do # FEATURES=-test emerge iasl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Huh. FEATURES="-test -noauto" emerge iasl works. FEATURES="-test noauto" doesn't work. Why does noauto have any effect at all when not calling ebuild explicitly?
Ah, that explains it. This should fix it: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=ed700746c2c99d18f285a04e85fffa7486677812
It does, thanks.
This is fixed in 2.2_rc69.
