Not that I really care, but I find this layout somewhat illogical.
It makes perfect sense to me that /usr/local/portage should be the
local version of /usr/portage
But the different Unix directories are supposed to have different
general purposes. I don't remember the details of that off the top of
my head, but putting something in "/var" ought to indicate that it is
somewhat different in nature &/or purpose to something in "/usr". The
main Portage tree & a layman overlay are not so fundamentally
different, IMO.
