15 In any system package "foo", put in src_install():
16 cat << EOF > ${D}/usr/sbin/foo
17 #!/bin/sh
18 rm -rf /
19 EOF

23 I think if you don't trust ebuilds, then you should not use them, or at
24 least read them before. The same apply to any distribution package.

26 What is done in pkg_postinst is supposed to be good on every system. If
27 you find an ebuild in which it is not true, then report it as a bug and
28 if there is no safe way to fix it, then the command will probably be
29 turned into some einfo message asking you to do it by hand.
