How do I make dispatch-conf respect existing package.use...

How do I make dispatch-conf merge configuration updates with my existing files in package.use?
I have package.use layed out such that every package has its own file; for example (package.use/curl):

Portage always proposes the additions to be in the lexicographically last file. For you, xz-utils sorts last, so that is where updates are sent. If you had a zz-myflags, they would go there instead.

I am not aware of a way to get the behavior you want, but I will note that dispatch-conf is just passing through Portage's pattern of using the last file. If your problem can be solved, it will be through changing the behavior of autounmask, not dispatch-conf. Alternatively, you could stop using autounmask-write, and put the flags where you want them by hand.

Thanks Hu. I'll check out autounmask.

Yeah, I don't see a way to do this the way I want. The stuff you mentioned is all there is.

Portage will create a ._0000<something>.cfg. That something will be the last file in package.use in lexicographical order.
