At the end there is some (disabled) broken code for removing packages that have the same USE/IUSE flags, but different checksums (e.g. the package was first built downstream and then later on the binpkg builder).

This would be much easier to do, and maintain, using python/portage APIs.

Note that eclean is using portage APIs more now, since the patches from bug 586658.
