The package has no local description for its bindist USE-flag. This leaves the end-user guessing at what is specifically done. This is *bad*. Users who care enough about licensing and distribution etc. will probably want to know what is specifically going on. For a good example of how to do this, see www-client/firefox.

    <flag name="bindist">
      Alias for the nss USE flag, since there are license compliancy
      trouble when using OpenSSL.
    </flag>
