I'll take your: equery f gentoolkit-dev | grep 'gensync$'
And raise it with a: less `equery f gentoolkit-dev | grep ChangeLog`

Please read the package ChangeLog, README and/or bugreports before asking such 
trivial questions. I included the relevant changelog entry below. If you 
don't mind the bugs etc. you can (for now) get gensync back by symlinking it 
in your path.

ln -s /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/gensync/gensync /usr/bin/gensync

You are right. Sorry. I tried to withdraw the question as
soon as I noticed that but my mail provider had a lot of
trouble this afternoon.

I apologize.

Nowhere, it's deprecated. The following ewarn message was displayed when
you emerged the new gentoolkit-dev

The gensync utility has been deprecated in favor of
app-portage/layman. It is still available in
/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/ for use while
you migrate to layman.

gensync is going away due to it not being maintained and the fact that
app-portage/layman is a better tool as well as being actively
maintained.  

You can copy the appropriate files from
the /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/gensync directory
in order to continue to use it. However, it will go away completely in
the next release.
