I think that doing "PV=${PV/0./}" is asking for trouble, even if we
had a function for reseting it after the change. In any case it should
be a function like reset_pv ${PV/0./} which keeps other variables (P,
S...) consistent. Also, this would imply an EAPI bump.

I doubt this change is worth the trouble.
