So far there was no options to build dmeventd along with device-mapper. I've modified the ebuild to have 'dmeventd' use-flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Acually I'm not sure if the initscript is necessary. Dmeventd should be autoloaded FWIH.

Please attach a unified diff instead of the whole ebuild if you change something; saves a lot of time when reviewing the changes.

Jan Pobrislo: Do we really need to make it USE-flag optional? Can we just install it and let folk NOT start it if they don't want it?

It is optional flag disabled by default, so making it USE-flag seemed logical, whatever reasons upstream had for it. Actually to build LVM2 with dmeventd support you need dmevent enabled device-mapper (libdevmapper-event) installed, so forcing this option from some versions up might simplify dependencies.
Ok, I'll do a version without the USE flag shortly.
in cvs now.
