$ quse -D adns ares
global:adns: Adds support for the adns DNS client library
local:ares:dev-libs/ecore: Enables support for asynchronous DNS using the net-dns/c-ares library
local:ares:net-analyzer/wireshark: Use GNU net-dns/c-ares library to resolve DNS names
local:ares:net-irc/znc: Enables support for asynchronous DNS using the c-ares library
local:ares:net-misc/aria2: Enables support for asynchronous DNS using the c-ares library
local:ares:net-misc/curl: Enabled c-ares dns support
local:ares:net-p2p/gift: pull in Ares plugin
Both of the flags (except for gift AFAICS) refer to asynchronous DNS
resolution. Could we join them into one flag? I think we should retain
'adns', move appropriate 'ares' flags to it and modify the description
to make it less library-centric.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Except for the fact that they are two different backends for async DNS
and some packages (wireshark) support both. Doesn't make sense to merge
them and take the choice away from the user.

They should behave like ssl: if only one is supported you call "adns" —
if more than one, you put adns in front, and then get the non-preferred
one and you give it an extra USE.

Then it's like the ssl: openssl gnutls nss case

We've reached agreement with Rick and I have committed the new USE=adns
description. I will open bugs to migrate the few affected packages
soon.
After a bit of discussion, we think it may be also useful to enable
USE=adns by default in some profile to let it benefit users.

To easy sanity existing ebuilds with USE=ares should change that to
USE=adns.
For things which are currently actually using adns, I believe migrating
USE=adns to USE=libadns to allow users to specifically pick the (afaik
deprecated) library.

I think you wanted to say 'things which are supporting both' :P.
