It would be very helpful if INSTALL_MASK could be overriden from an ebuild, if user hasn't set otherwise. So it could be configured like USE_ORDER which is "env:pkg:conf:defaults:pkginternal:repo:env.d" So INSTALL_MASK_ORDER like "ebuild:${user's own INSTALL_MASK}" This would be very helpful in pre
