An alternative would be to add entries in package.use.

It looks like user-session has no effect if systemd is not in use.
On systems running systemd, having the units installed automatically
enables the systemd user bus, and the only way to disable it is to
mask the units. Having the user bus enabled generally prevents display
managers and startx from starting individual session buses, since they
will use the user bus instead. That's probably fine, but I wanted to
note it.
