'equery d debianutils' gives me 

  app-admin/sysklogd-1.4.2_pre20061230 (sys-apps/debianutils)
  app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3-r1 (userland_GNU? sys-apps/debianutils)
  sys-apps/mktemp-1.5 (>=sys-apps/debianutils-2.16.2)

The 2nd cb ignored, but the others seem important.
I have Mktemp-1.5 installed, so what do you mean by your lines 1-2 ?
Sysklogd seems to be an important pkg too.
What am I missing (smile) ?
