I would not want qfile to report on files (including symlinks) which are not recorded in the /var/db/pkg database. That's simply not what the tool is designed for. eselect is not part of portage, and it can create/change literally any file on your system. There is no central place where these changes are tracked, so any attempt to make qfile aware of it would be unreliable.
