Please check whether the use of 'einstall' in this ebuild is actually
needed. From a quick glance at the Makefile, it seems to have proper
support for DESTDIR.

Therefore, if possible please replace the call to 'einstall' with proper
'default' or 'emake DESTDIR="${D}" install'. Thanks.

Turns out it was needed in this case.

    media-sound/rplay: new revision with EAPI=6.

    The original purpose of this new revision was to fix the use of
    einstall reported in bug 521564. However, einstall proved necessary,
    so along with the update to EAPI=6 -- where einstall is banned -- I
    inlined its behavior.

    The multilib and eutils eclasses, now unused, were dropped. The latest
    debian patchset was also included.
