x11-wm/dwm (https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/x11-wm/dwm) needs `savedconfig` use flag to allow customization in `/etc/portage/savedconfig/x11-wm/dwm..` if savedconfig is not present in `package.use` configuration is not present in savedconfig. (based on my experience) Recommends mensioning it as LOCAL USE on https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/x11-wm/dwm
=x11-wm/dwm-6.1-r1 inherits savedconfig.eclass and it is this eclass that sets IUSE=savedconfig. =x11-wm/dwm-9999 does not use savedconfig.eclass because it is a live ebuild - you are encouraged to use user patches instead if you want to change the compile time configuration here. Apparently packages.gentoo.org cannot handle differences in IUSE values for more than one ebuild and apparently it picked the live ebuild to show the IUSE value for.

Shoudn't it be added as USE flag instead of a IUSE? Based on my experience i can imagine someone having issues since it won't pull `savedconfig` when it's not set in package.use / make.conf.

That is not how ebuilds work. https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html
