In a discussion about bug 151586 we realized that there might be an
issue with profile package.use. With the current stacking order
package.use in a profile will always override all make.defaults,
independent of the profiles they come from. In particular a parent
package.use can override a childs make.defaults USE. This doesn't
exactly match the existing profile semantics.

Changing this however isn't trivial and would mean that in the
USE stack both files are treated as a single unit.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
