no, actually, it shouldn't.  Gentoo policy is to not touch things in /etc.
Comment 2 Thomas Matthijs (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-27 01:21:43 UTC
portage doesn't remove files in dirs that are in CONFIG_PROTECT
you can add /etc/init.d/ to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK to have it remove them anyway
please read the gentoo handbook for more information
