When pkgs are masked in the profile, it affects all variants of that pkgs, even the ones that are in other
overlays.
Example:
!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- sys-auth/sssd-9999::transmode (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Matt Turner <[email protected]> (2020-08-13)
# Masked for testing

My sssd-9999 is now masked.

Could the profile syntax be extended to include syntax allowed in /etc/portage ?
Then one could use the ::gentoo syntax (or so I hope)
