There's a few other options we can use here as well ... 

1. GLEP 65, but I'm still not entirely sure how all this works.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GLEP:65

2. pkg_postinst

3. pkg_info

https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/pkg_info/index.html

With #3 that means 

emerge --info sys-devel/openrc 

Could fire up a quick grep and tell users which specific things need fixing still.
