- From what I remember about conversations on this in the past, and
hopefully vapier can confirm, the de-facto location for this script is
supposed to be /etc/init.d/functions.sh.  Was there a general
consensus on the approval of that location change?  I still think, at
worst, we should ensure the gentoo-functions script installs a symlink
here (possibly taking over the one installed by openrc, if openrc
still installs one)

That said, I'm certainly fine with having all package-installed
scripts use the /lib/ location and depending directly on this new package.

Also, just to confirm, this new path is compatible with the einfo
package used as part of Prefix, yes?  Or other arrangements have been
made (ie, the einfo package will be dropped from baselayout-prefix)?
