 /etc/portage/profile/package.provided always works for me. However, I don't 
know if its location is being  changed to  /etc/portage/package.provided, 
where all the other files are placed.  I did wonder why package.provided 
needed a "profile" directory, but have never seen the reason mentioned 
anywhere.
