Soryy, i don't understand this discussion. What is the problem? basc can't 
read /var/log/whatever, but need it to work, exept if the user who run basc 
is the root user or member of the group portage. Right?

Which polices forbid basc to be a member of portage? The guy who install it, 
has to be one of this kind of user. The security team shoul take a look on 
the source of basc and sign it. This guys do it on every other packake, that 
connect to other servers or accept connection from the outside. I'm right, 
they do it? And basc is easy to understand, only source... no package depends 
on basc, everybody can install it, if he want it do to, he only needs to be 
root or maybe a member of the portage group.

Or i missing the point?
