Description Matthew Schultz 2017-07-25 12:46:20 UTC 
Could I get an explanation as to why there are several packages that set an evdev use flag instead of using the already built-in INPUT_DEVICES use expand?

dev-qt/qtgui:evdev - Enable support for input devices via evdev
games-emulation/dolphin:evdev - Enable evdev input support
sys-auth/consolekit:evdev - For handling VT switching with a session controller.

So you're saying that not placing it in the INPUT_DEVICES use expand is not a bug?

you were asking for explanations. Not reporting a bug.
This is not the place for discussions.
Please create a bug report per package, if you found a bug.
