My impression is that /etc/portage/package.provided is ignored.

If I execute

  # strace -Ff -e trace=open emerge -DpvuN world 2>&1 \
      | fgrep /etc/portage

package.provided never shows up as having been opened.

Also, entries that I have made in package.provided don't seem to
affect ebuilds.
