Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

With some EAPI=1 ebuilds there are cases where some USEs wants to be disabled by default by maintainers. Look for example mplayer ebuild, that disables "gtk" by default.

The problem is that, for example in my systems, I have gtk enabled in my make.conf, causing it to be enabled anyway. 

My suggestion is that emerge would show USE flags enabled by user even when ebuild wants to disable them with a different color (orange?)

Thanks a lot :-)

Reproducible: Always

The amount of available colors is very limited...
