See patch included below. I have kept the changes at the bare minimum necessary to update this for EAPI 6. A major rewrite of the file may be considered later.

Subject: [PATCH] skel.ebuild: Update for EAPI 6.
Put less emphasis on eutils and epatch; they will be used less often
with eapply being available in EAPI 6.
Don't mention ancient EAPIs that are banned.
Don't mention einstall since it is banned.
