actually it is the same package, the logging module as well as many
others is maintained outside of the tree and sync from one time to the
other.

umm looking at it's deps there seems to be no need for the external
logging module

yes it is but it doesn't states which version of the logging package
it needs, did you report a bug on it? I believe that if the ebuild
does need the newer package it should ask for it with version numbers.
