systemd's gpt-auto-generator will create an automount unit to mount the ESP if /boot exists as an empty directory. sys-apps/baselayout[build] creates /boot, and installs a .keep file there. The .keep file prevents gpt-auto-generator from working properly. I don't see any reason for the .keep files when they are created in pkg_{setup,preinst,postinst}. I would suggest we simply drop them.
