Hm, I see now that ndtp is registered by IANA and already in
baselayout's /etc/services, but under a different port number:
ndtp            2882/tcp                        # Network Dictionary Transfer 
Protocol
ndtp            2882/udp

Since the ndtpd ebuild greps for 2010/tcp (which it doesn't find) it
will add the service a second time ...

Is 2010 an obsolete port number, so that the /etc/services handling
should simply be removed from the net-misc/ndtpd and app-emacs/lookup
ebuilds?

Is anyone actually using ndtpd who can shed some light on the issue?
