Doesn't really seem to be related to OPs question so it probably should have 
been a new thread, however...

The real issue is that google refuse to rename the tarball when they release a 
new version. The secondary issue is then that Gentoo can't rename it on their 
own mirros since they aren't allowed to redistribute it.

Without your consent??

Understandable. You should, however, realize that it is an actual upgrade 
you're rejecting in this case.

I don't really have a better suggestion if you don't want the upgrades. 
Redigesting it as Kent suggests seems rather pointless as you would just be 
reinstalling the old version (while tricking portage into believing you get 
the newer version (as if that mattered ;)) with no actual gain.
