Nowhere, it's deprecated. The following ewarn message was displayed when
you emerged the new gentoolkit-dev

The gensync utility has been deprecated in favor of
app-portage/layman. It is still available in
/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/ for use while
you migrate to layman.

From the ebuild:

 * The gensync utility has been deprecated in favor of
 * app-portage/layman. It is still available in
 * /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/ for use while
 * you migrate to layman.

gensync is going away due to it not being maintained and the fact that
app-portage/layman is a better tool as well as being actively
maintained.  

You can copy the appropriate files from
the /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/gensync directory
in order to continue to use it. However, it will go away completely in
the next release.

Regards,
Paul
