We discussed this briefly once. Probably both useFeature and useDep have their 
place: withGui, useQt4 and useGtk flags may make sense for a package with 2 
gui frontends. A good first step would be to standardize feature/dep flag 
names, then we could try getting callPackage to inherit use flags for us or 
something like this and of course think about profiles...
