you did it the correct way but that's what happens when you're alone in a team 
and are moving without reliable internet connection then emails & other stuff 
start to pile up :/

Feel free to last rite it; or better: step up as a maintainer and bump it so 
that you'll be sure to always have the greatest version and don't depend on 
texlive's yearly releases :)
(and even better: join tex herd if you're interested in doing such bumps)

yes though if its in texlive I usually want to remove them from the texlive's 
bundle if  single packages are maintained (avoiding installing useless files 
with texlive's ebuilds that will be overlayed by yours)

you must set:
TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf-site
in both ebuilds so that they are installed there and are used as overlay
(yes the eclass' default should be changed)

dont forget to use mirror://gentoo for this one when moving to the tree
