The biggest part of the migration is running dispatch-conf, etc-update
or another configuration file updater and accepting all of the openrc
changes.  Most of the stuff in the migration guide is just directing
you to verify changes that the openrc ebuild has made and telling you
which configuration files may need to be altered to match your system.
I'm not sure how to script passed any of that.
