20 Well we also put in blocking deps etc. Aside from that what's the correct
21 procedure here, if not to use move instructions?
22 It's true that the file list won't match. For which reason the target package
23 always started out at a greater version than what was available for any
24 source package. So after the move, the next world update should re-merge the
25 correct, complete package.

27 Yes this is ugly. But we only did it for package.masked ebuilds... What's a
28 better way?
