That is not really fair, we do not have foo-qt3, foo-qt4,
foo-mysql, foo-psql .. We have "foo" with useflags.
So either remove the -dev, -qt3, -qt4, virtual packages, [..] from that
list, or calculate the number of use-flag permutations possible for our
packages.
I guess that gentoo beats debian :)
