For everyone's information -- The conf.d/net removal on upgrade is a
packaging issue, which could not have been tested prior to
openrc-0.12.ebuild hitting the tree.  There are details in
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481336 if anyone's interested
in why it's happening.

I've fixed the 0.12.ebuild in the tree now.  It's a hack but it seems
to be the best possible solution.
