Ah! My mistake. Sorry, for the silly example. Python was the first
thing that came to my mind as an example of a package which is
installed and not present in the world list, but didn't thing about
the fact it is a system package also. Well, this behavior is the same
for every package here (this time the example is with "mc"):
===
localhost ~ # cp /var/lib/portage/world .
localhost ~ # grep mc /var/lib/portage/world
app-misc/mc
localhost ~ # sed -i 's/mc//g' /var/lib/portage/world
localhost ~ # grep mc /var/lib/portage/world
localhost ~ # emerge --noreplace app-misc/mc
Calculating dependencies  ..... ..... ........ done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
localhost ~ # grep mc /var/lib/portage/world
localhost ~ # 
===

So, I'll just wait for the devs to mark "stable" the next version of
portage.

Thanks for your replies!
