It goes under the assumption that files are always going to be installed by the ebuild src_install process. Experience shows this is not always the case. For example the *.pyc files, some, /etc/*, font-cache files, etc. are installed during post-install and so are not "recorded" by portage as belonging to a package. Common sense always prevails. Of course a person cleaning out an /etc/ dir that you hasn't been cleaned out in five years is going to require considerably more "common sense" than one who cleaned theirs out last month. I've also modified the script to exclude /usr/portage and /usr/local (they were on separate filesystems for me so I didn't need to). You may need to tweak it further for your needs. -a
