The app-emacs/ngnus-9999 ebuild is in active use and should not go away.

It also should remain in the main tree.

(A rename to app-emacs/gnus-9999 is OK, provided it gets mentioned in
profiles/updates.)

Done so. Thanks for the feedback.

It's technically not possible to do a "partial package move". But I'd
expect users of live ebuilds to be able to figure things out by
themselves.

I took a look at one of the upates files before repying and
noticed a $P or two, not just $PN.

But on closer exam I see that those are for slot moves....

Thanks.
