Mr_Bones_ is, in this particular instance, wrong. We do not go around
changing ebuilds simply because repoman has a bug. Instead, we make
sure that there's a bug filed about repoman being broken, and do the
right thing in the tree.

repoman is there to help catch certain kinds of common screwup, if
you're lucky. It is not there to be relied upon, and it is not there to
tell you what to do.
