There have been some changes to what's included in 'system' recently.
After checking  /usr/portage/profiles/base/packages  & various 'virtuals'
it seemed that pkg 'setserial' had been dropped from 'system',
so after trying 'qpkg -I -q setserial' without anything listed,
I unmerged it (after having a quick look at its man file);
I also deleted 'serial' from  /etc/init.d , which seemed unnecessary now.
The system rebooted, but there was a series of warning messages,
which disappeared after I remerged 'setserial' & rebooted again.

What is 'setserial' needed for ?  If its omission causes warnings,
why has it been dropped from 'system' ?  Anyone have useful info ?
