The :: syntax is Portage specific and doesn't exist in EAPI 7. |

So there's no chance to get it into the profile dir anytime soon |

(because that would imply :: to be added to a future EAPI and the |
| 20 |
top-level profile dir to be bumped to that EAPI). |

You could override the mask in your overlay's profile/package.mask |
| 23 |
instead, using an entry with the "-" operator. |
