Looks like we missed that one when updating DISTDIR and PKGDIR. (Presumably because nobody uses RPMs. :) Leaving it as the only subdir in /usr/portage doesn't make much sense. I suggest to update the default to /var/cache/rpm.
Created attachment 579332 [details, diff] Update default RPMDIR to /var/cache/rpm.
