I agree that Azarah is a good guy that I generally trust and I certainly 
don't want to make a fight out of this one package.  My concerns are:

1) If possible an ebuild should be package safe.  I can understand a 
couple of critical ebuilds not being package safe (baselayout included), 
but they should be few in number and justified.
2) It should not be possible to make a package of an ebuild that is not 
package safe.

On this specific ebuild the only problem I see is during the "install" 
phase not all of the files are copied from the builddir (${S}) to the 
installdir -- specifically /etc/conf.d/rc and /etc/inittab.  Then during 
pkg_postinst() the ebuild tries to copy those two files from the 
builddir.  I do not see why these cannot be installed to /tmp/etc/... 
and then moved to /etc/... during pkg_postinst().  I might be missing 
something (wouldn't be the first time), but it might be nice if they 
would indicate why...
