Because fetching isn't done in the bash part, but in the python part of |
| 16 |
portage, and ebuild can only override things in the bash part ever. |

Fetching involves a lot more than just calling wget, take a look at |
| 18 |
fetch() in portage.py if you're interested. |

Oh, and there are many more things that cannot be overridden, like dep |
