I don't mind getting these packages from portage if it means less hassle when I update, but the docs suggest that I remove every package that I've installed from devnull before moving forward. This seems like a tremendous hassle, but perhaps there's a one-shot command for doing this? I'm surprised packages in overlays take precedence over portage. Is there any way to get a single package from an overlay without taking "everything" ?
