Two options: * Smarter updates handling by portage. For example, maybe it could realise that the package in question has been moved, and automatically do the update (along with a QA notice: assumed package move blah). This would also help for those unfortunate times when we don't manage to do a huge package move in under the required half an hour. * Unique ID strings for packages, zynot style.
