So, what has to be be done to have it appear in the proper place? Should
the file be placed in a subdir of /space/distfiles-local/? That seems to
be error prone, and certainly could be automated?

Looks like this will break backwards compatibility. IIUC, backwards
compatibility is also broken on the receiving side, that is,
mirror://gentoo/ in SRC_URI will no longer work as expected?

Shouldn't GLEP 75 have mentioned this? It's certainly something that
needs to be discussed before the GLEP is implemented.
