When doing 'emerge --deep -u world', updated packages that are listed in the
world file, are removed from it.

As an example, I explicitly emerged reiserfstools, and made sure it was listed
in the world file.  Then, I synced/updated (emerge sync; emerge --deep -u
world), and a new version of reiserfstools was installed.  Upon looking in the
world file, I noticed that reiserfstools had disappeared.

I am using Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1).
