Do I get this the wrong way or do the "nodrm" flag make pdftk decrypt documents while the same flag in kde disables document decoding (in kde)?
Wouldn't it be better if the use flags were interpreted "almost" the same way by the ebuilds?

sounds like opposites to me. But gentooish is not my native language :)
