Paludis expects /usr/portage/distfiles to be owned by whichever group
it uses for reduced privilege builds. Normally that's ok; however, as
soon as you Portage as root, it'll automatically go and clobber a
whole bunch of filesystem permissions without asking you. So your
options are:

* Fix it by hand and don't ever run Portage

* Set Paludis to use the 'portage' user and group for reduced privilege
  operations. http://paludis.pioto.org/configuration/environment.html
  explains how.
