That's been in place a long while; pkgcore has done it from day one
also.
That's not a "massive change" to vdb behaviour either; file collisions
aren't supposed to occur, as such ownership of the file is basically
guranteed back to a single package. Throw in CONFIG_PROTECT for
adjusting the behaviour, and you have a far more preferable norm than
"lets just leave a shit ton of .pyc/.pyo on the fs".
Moving on...
