  just have a peak at how ebuilds work and look:

  <url: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml >
  <url: http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/ >

  as an easy example, look at the latest sash build:
  <url: http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/gentoo
  -x86/app-shells/sash/sash-3.4-r5.ebuild?rev=1.16 >

  as others have pointed out, the LSB has a strict idea about what
  directories you can have under /usr.  Gentoo has a directory 'kde'
  located under /usr, to make it possible to have several different
  versions of KDE installed at the same time.  when LSB tells the
  developers how to solve this differently, without breakage, I'm sure
  they'll move and port stuff.

  but I wouldn't hold my breath for the LSB to fix support for issues
  like this.
