17 I don't think so. "cfgpro" means the modules are *not* removed on
18 unmerge. Have a look, they should still be there. At least, they are on
19 my machines, although I don't use module-rebuild but a custom script (a
20 one-liner, actually). I have always had the messages as you describe
21 above, and the modules have always stayed around. If they don't, then
22 something is wrong with your configuration.

24 It's kinda the same as /etc on unmerge. The files just stick around.
