    +Title: Migration to sys-apps/systemd-utils

    My suggestion is to display if systemd-utils is installed too, because...

    +
    +The sys-apps/systemd-utils package was recently added to the gentoo +repository. This replaces sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles, sys-boot/systemd-boot, +and sys-fs/udev with a single package. USE flags are provided to allow each +component to be enabled or disabled.

    I think a very brief bit of rationale about why would be helpful so we don't have to keep explaining it. Just something like:

    "This change has been made to significantly ease maintenance of tools
    split out from systemd, like udev, systemd-tmpfiles, and systemd-boot,
    as one ebuild (with USE flags) is used for each of the components."

    Would emphasise that it's specifically for non-systemd installations too.

    +
    +When upgrading to sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250, +sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] will be pulled in as a dependency.
    +
    +When upgrading to sys-boot/systemd-boot-250, sys-apps/systemd-utils[boot] will
    +be pulled in as a dependency.
    +
    +When upgrading to sys-fs/udev-250, sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] will be pulled
    +in as a depenendecy.
    +

    dependency

    +At a later date, sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles, sys-boot/systemd-boot, and +sys-fs/udev will be masked for removal once a suitable version of +sys-apps/systemd-utils has been marked stable and sufficient time has been +provided for users to migrate.
    +
    +Possible problems when upgrading:
    +
    +1. If sys-fs/eudev is present in the world file (@selected), emerge will abort
    + the upgrade with a unsolvable blocker error. To resolve this, either remove
    + sys-fs/eudev from the world file, or disable the 'udev' USE flag on
    + sys-apps/systemd-utils.

    'By using emerge --deselect ...'?

    +
    +2. The 'boot' USE flag on sys-apps/systemd-utils is disabled by default. Users
    + migrating from sys-boot/systemd-boot will need to enable the 'boot' use
    + flag to continue receiving updates.
