Seriously this completely defeats the whole point of the information in
pkg_postinst. einfo is not logged by ELOG features by default, producing the
following:

<snip>
 * You have installed dhcpcd with zeroconf support.
 * You have installed dhcpcd with DUID support.
 * Some DHCP server implementations require a MAC address only in the
 * ClientID field. These DHCP servers should be updated to be RFC
 * conformant. If you cannot do this, you can revert to the old
 * behaviour by using the -I '' option OR building dhcpcd with the
 * vram USE flag enabled.
 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
</snip>

The whole info about USE="zeroconf" gets lost, and half of info about
USE="-vram" as well.

Maybe portage should just map einfo to elog when in pkg_postinst because you're
basically saying that einfo is redundant there.

But whatever.
