Yeah, udev >= 089 blocks coldplug, so the init script should have been
removed, assuming you have upgraded to udev >= 089.

But perhaps you don't have /etc/init.d in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK?  In
this case, portage will consider the init scripts to be configuration
files, and will not remove them when the associated package is
removed.

carcharias rjf # emerge --info | grep CONFIG_PROTECT
CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config
/usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind"
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf
/etc/init.d /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash
/etc/terminfo"
