Do you have a single valid use case in ::gentoo?  I.e. a package that
actually:

1) installs a top-level __init__.py with namespace support and other
code,

2) actually has subpackages that would require namespace support.

Because I dare say catching them is better than ignoring them
and waiting for the file collisions because of a potentially valid use
case that wouldn't be relevant to Gentoo installs anyway.
