I've just had to use this again, for the vcdimager ebuild to apply the
patch https://bugs.gentoo.org/638646 - the ebuild doesn't apply patches
in /etc/portage/patches but it did when I created this file

% cat /etc/portage/env/media-video/vcdimager-0.7.24
post_src_unpack() {
    cd "${S}"
    epatch_user
}
