It can be addressed by banning binary package creation off an
installed filesystem.
I'm not sure that's really a feasible solution (but then you probably weren't
suggesting it with that intention). Being able to create a "backup" of any
installed package without re-emerging is pretty handy. Many people use it and
there would be a revolt if quickpkg were removed.
I use FEATURES="buildpkg" myself, so I've always got that backup.
