Perhaps a minor nitpick, but you need the --pure-packages option, otherwise you
add a (small) bias to that number. From eix(1):

       -*, --pure-packages   (toggle)
              (do  not forget quoting if you use the short form from within a 
shell.)  Omit printing of additional information
              (overlay names, number of found packages) after the packages.  
This might be useful for some shell scripts pars‐
              ing the output
