Because gentoolkit-dev is a different package with a different purpose, 
not a development/pre-release version of gentoolkit.  gentoolkit-dev is  
a separate collection of gentoolkit-like scripts, but targeted at devs, 
where the original gentoolkit scripts are targeted at normal users.

Putting the entirely separate package in an entirely separate repo does 
make sense, altho some devs do apparently prefer to keep multiple 
packages in the same repo (see udev with systemd, to mention one rather 
controversial example).
