7 If that is only needed for syncing, then I'm not sure there is really
8 a need. If you have the ebuild for the latest keys, then you can
9 install them in any order at any time. If you don't have the ebuild
10 but need it, then portage won't know, and syncing will simply fail
11 unless overridden somehow.
