This bug came to us from Debian. They are requesting that we rename the rc binary due to a package they have which has a binary with the same name. [1] I am fine with doing this, but we will need to find a way to do a smoothe transition in Gentoo, so I am taking it to the -dev list. [1] http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/rc
cross reference: the corresponding Debian ITP bug. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684396
The binary was renamed to openrc in commit 7b5fa01. The change will be included in OpenRC-0.13.
