The manifest covers all files in the ebuild's directory. If one fails the
test, the entire directory is considered suspect so the ebuild has to be
skipped.

apparent solution. The manifests are now generated automatically when a
git commit is made, but there appears to be something going wrong with
the process in this instance.
