Reproducible: Always

I vaguely remember a discussion gentoo-dev on this topic and that is where it belongs, so please take your request there, when you want to pursue it. Honestly said, I think it doesn't matter and is wasted time to do anything about it - unless we start to clean up and reorganize the tree as a whole.

Unless <threadbare excuse> we keep bad decisions by tradition? Ok, the portage tree sucks, but hey - we have 150 bibles as dictionaries. Poor Gentoo. May the <never happening> big clean up solve all the old and new bugs.

I closed your bug as WONTFIX, because it is something to discuss on the gentoo-dev mailing list, not because I'm keen on keeping the status quo, okay!?
