1 Are .keep files necessary in a live filesystem? AFAIK they're only there
2 to keep portage from removing a directory from emerge-time image. Would it be
3 possible to just remove them from live filesystem after package files are
4 merged to / ?

6 Or do .keep files serve another purpose, not obvious to me?
