Hello,

You're receiving this canned (template-based) bug report because I found an annoyance with a package during my tinderbox run.

The package in question is checking for one out of a series of USE flags to be enabled, likely because these are multiple selectable backends, but it currently does not use the EAPI=1 feature of default USE flags to work out of the box.
