Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev

The idea is to make it easier for users to recover in cases like bug 423087, where downgrading zlib causes packages built against a newer version to break. Similarly to FEATURE=unmerge-backup requested in bug 156282, it should only call quickpkg if a binary package of the same version does not already exist.
