The patch looks good. However, for flexibility, I think we should
support multiple formats simultaneously. The EbuildBuild class could use
an instance of TaskSequence to execute multiple EbuildBinpkg instances
sequentially. Example pseudocode:

binpkg_tasks = TaskSequence()
for pkg_fmt in settings.get("PORTAGE_BINPKG_FORMAT", "tar").split():
    binpkg_tasks.add(EbuildBinpkg(pkg_fmt))
