I'm not sure what this does, either. Someone may come along in a
moment with better advice, but as a first step I'd `equery b
/etc/initi.d/device-mapper`. If it says that device-mapper doesn't
belong to any of your current packages then I think you can safely
(remove it from the default runlevel and subsequently) delete it,
otherwise I'd reemerge the package to which it belongs.
Baselayout has a bunch of init scripts and utilities that all the
other
init scripts need, plus /etc/conf.d stuff ("equery f baselayout" can
tell you what exactly). You certainly don't want to unmerge that if
you
ever plan to reboot your system.
I wouldn't recommend unmerging it if it were needed, but `equery b /
etc/initi.d/device-mapper` should show whether the file belongs to
any package or not. If it doesn't belong to any package then it
_should_ be safe to delete (but see my commend about removing it from
the default runlevel first), and it should be safe to reemerge
baselayout, should it belong to that package (or otherwise).
