Why not rename "live" to something which makes more sense in the
RESTRICT environment? Like the "constant-source" suggestion by Arfrever?
Because for me 'RESTRICT="live"' reads like: "Live(-builds)" are not
possible with this ebuild.

Pushing random boolean flags in a variable, just because it already
happens to be there, seems (for me) to be the wrongest possible
approach. This would be quite similar to: We want to store the ebuild's
author in the ebuild... Hmm - we would need an additional string
variable for this ... Come - let's use the IUSE variable - there are
already strings in there (perhaps add an '@' before the author so we can
parse it).

Just my 2ct,
René
