Necessary. Needed to compile various fairly important things.

Yuck. I'm not a fan of USE flags which just pull in deps if they don't
alter what's actually installed. Now, if the dhcp code in baselayout was
optional (which it isn't and shouldn't be), a USE flag would make sense,
but for just pulling in another package? Bleh...
