Basically agreed, but shouldn't this better be done in main tree,
because otherways we would need to touch those ebuilds anyway, even when
we have such a function?

The function itself needs to be more flexible in regards of specifying
what to move (the actual lib name, should $(get_libname) be used in the
function or in the ebuild).
Haven't searched main-tree if such moves are only done
from /usr/$(get_libdir) to /$(get_libdir) or from somewhere else too.
