Hmm.. I'd say paludis does replace emerge. ebuild is irrelevant. 
revdep-rebuild is still needed. There's a patched version available on the 
forums or you can just run it with --pretend and replace emerge with paludis. 
paludis can show contents and owners (equiv of equery files and belongs) and 
adjutrix can show reverse deps (equiv of equery depends). In short some but 
not all of it... More to come... Also with the ruby USE flag it contains a 
ruby script which does the same as eclean-dist just much quicker...
