18 I've just installed a new system with the tree in /var from the outset
19 and no /usr/portage at all, and eix behaves like this (I hadn't noticed
20 until you pointed it out) so it may be the /usr/portage path is hard
21 coded.

23 This doesn't cause any problems but now you have pointed it out it is
24 going to annoy me.
