It is a generally accepted convention that package-specific options should take priority over global ones and I think this should apply to the bashrc scripts as well. This currently isn't the case because /etc/portage/bashrc is sourced last. I spoke to mgorny, who implemented the per-package bashrc support and he agreed, stating that he didn't really consider the order at the time. Please see the attached patch. I have checked that the tests still pass.

Shouldn't the title be exactly the other way round?
"Package-specific /etc/portage/env scripts should be sourced *after* /etc/portage/bashrc"
