The problem is that Portage now changes the value of the "${DISTDIR}"
environment variable inside an ebuild to a temporary directory it
creates and fills with symlinks to the real distfiles in your actual
${DISTDIR}.  The message in the ebuild was written before this change
happened and directly references the "${DISTDIR}" environment variable,
assuming it to still have the value you specified in make.conf.  As you
figured out, the correct action is to install the file in your real
${DISTDIR}, but the ebuild no longer has access to determine what the
name of that directory should be.

This probably should be reported as a bug.
