Two options:
* Smarter updates handling by portage. For example, maybe it could
realise that the package in question has been moved, and automatically
do the update (along with a QA notice: assumed package move blah). This
would also help for those unfortunate times when we don't manage to do a
huge package move in under the required half an hour.
* Unique ID strings for packages, zynot style. Messy as hell though,
DEPEND="foo/bar {12379812AD7382164BD87678652438FC65E43A2}" doesn't have
the same kind of ring to it...
