Hi!

I think this too, perhaps send an email to both the AUTHOR and the
last commiter to that package. Another possibility is to add all
ebuilds that do this wrong under an wiki-todo so that every developer
can look there to see if someone else has found errors in one of your
ebuilds. I'm not sure about mine, haven't looked into it yet, so feel
free to flame me for broken ebuilds :)
