I don't think so. "cfgpro" means the modules are *not* removed on
unmerge. Have a look, they should still be there. At least, they are on
my machines, although I don't use module-rebuild but a custom script (a
one-liner, actually). I have always had the messages as you describe
above, and the modules have always stayed around. If they don't, then
something is wrong with your configuration.

It's kinda the same as /etc on unmerge. The files just stick around.
