They are, just as you can list a package multiple times in a single file, which makes make Portage's autounmask rules work easily. The relevant part of "man portage" is under /etc/portage/: > Any file in this directory that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file. If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file. Cheers, Bryan
