Because the nicer solution is to not call some_function() in every
single ebuild in the tree that happens to stray from the default
src_prepare().

The problem is in what needs to happen after epatch_user(). If it turns
out some files need to be re-generated, then that would call for a
post-src_prepare() function (src_regen() perhaps) that all the
eautoreconf and equivalent calls get moved away to. Which then leads to
problems in determining whether that's needed, and to the user having
no proper way to force it as of now.
