Let's suppose that $PV is "2.5.1". How would I get the "2.5" in it in an
ebuild? I know about ${PV:0:3}, but this breaks if $PV is, say,
"2.13.1". In that case, I would get "2.1" instead of "2.13".
I've looked in the various eclasses if there's some utility function
that get me the major and minor version, but can't find anything.

hi,
take a look into the versionator.eclass [1]. You need to use
get_version_component_range()
