Lucky for you, I know your sense of humour by now :-) |

Doesn't help portage users though, and portage is still the default package |
| 14 |
manager on Gentoo. I don't see that changing any time soon, if ever. |

Besides, unless you do it manually, you need portage to install paludis, |
| 17 |
right? Without python, you don't get paludis. |

Either way, it's a bug. portage supports inheriting multiple parent profiles. |

One approach would be to add a new collection of profiles in addition to the |
| 21 |
existing base/, default/ and targets/ - called say pkgmgr. |
