You obviously already did it, but yes, my suggestion is to set the
KEYWORDS variable in the ebuild.

The advantage for setting it in the eclass is in my eyes mostly for
development in overlays (efl 1.7 libs and e17 have been in the overlay
for a long time), since there are no arch teams to stabilize, so it is
easier to set it based on the version then to manually adjust all
keywords for each ebuild.
