Please include the output of equery l lynis just in case eix's db is not correct. equery is a live system search. Also, please post the contents of all /etc/eclean/* files.

Thank you for posting that. This is strange, because, by default, all files are subject for cleaning and only saved by installed pkgs SRC_URI matches and the rules configured for saving them. I'll look at the code again for a bit, then get back to you. It has been quite some time since I last made any changes to it. I need a refresher. ;)
eclean is working as designed. Without the -d option, it will only delete distfiles that are not owned by an installed package or any ebuild in the tree. If you use -d it will delete all distfiles that are not owned by a currently installed package. If you add -n it will additionally keep distfiles for all versions that match an installed package. In summary to get the behavior you want, you need to use the -d option. Feel free to reopen as an enhancement if there is something the the -d and -n options don't handle that you feel it should.
