If it is removing to much, leave out the -d option. With -d, it only leaves the minimum needed to re-emerge the packages currently installed. It works the same way with -dist as well. From the man page: -d, --deep only keep the minimum for a reinstallation I think if you leave off the -d option it leaves anything that is still in the tree, may include overlays as well.
