# BENTOO-DIVERGENCE: IUSE - no caps flag, and this one is ::gentoo's bug rather
# than a gap here. Both ebuilds are dummies whose only job is to forward flags
# to net-dns/bind, and ::gentoo's 9.18.0-r1 forwards [caps?] to a package that
# has no caps flag - measured 2026-09-07 across every bind in ::gentoo, 9.18.38
# through 9.20.27, and not one declares it. Forwarding a dead flag is what this
# ebuild declines to copy.
