  The emerge man page does mention unmasking packages and setting
package.use with --autounmask, but not keywords

--autounmask [ y | n ]
   Automatically unmask packages and generate package.use  settings
   as  necessary to satisfy dependencies.

***BUT***

--autounmask-unrestricted-atoms [ y | n ]
  If --autounmask is enabled, keyword and mask changes using  the
  ´=´  operator  will be written

  This is confusing, to say the least.
