Portage records a checksum for each file it installs, that's how it known
not to delete files that were not installed by the ebuild it is
unmerging. equery has an option to check packages against these
equery check --only-failures '*'
Note that it will show failures on any files that have been modified
since installation, such as configuration and data files, so you'll have
to check these manually, but if a library or executable shows up you
almost certainly have a problem.
