Hello,
I think that a nice enhancement to eclean-pkg would be to automatically call emaint --fix binhost. 

eclean-pkg removes tbz2's and leaves the Packages file in a state that it lies to its consumers. Current condition is that the user *must* run emaint --fix binhost after every invocation of eclean-pkg. This is easily scriptable but then you are running emaint even when no binpkgs were removed.

Jeremy, if you have a patch go ahead and commit it into the gentoolkit repo.  If not, I'll take a look as soon as I have a chance. (All devs have permission to play with gentoolkit)

I have started working on a recoding of eclean similar to what I did in the equery modules.  My intent is to split the code so as all output printing is done separately from the base function code.  This will make it possible to use it as library code that can be used in other apps.  I will work on integrating this functionality in as well.
