The last part is correct. However, the ctags flavour can be configured:

# ls -l /usr/bin/ctags
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr  5 09:31 /usr/bin/ctags -> ctags-emacs-28
# eselect ctags list
Available ctags symlink targets:
  [1]   ctags-emacs-28 *
  [2]   exuberant-ctags
# eselect ctags set 2
Switching ctags to exuberant-ctags ...
# ls -l /usr/bin/ctags
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 12 09:32 /usr/bin/ctags -> exuberant-ctags
