Just to make this clear.  When do you do this?

Zac explained what happens if you do this in a directory with an
existing Manifest.  However, if you eupdate/ecopy an ebuild, the
Manifest isn't copied.  Hence all distfiles will have to be downloaded
indeed.  If you indeed face this problem after you imported a package
yourself, then it may be a good idea to change the scripts to also copy
the Manifest file, such that this downloading of all distfiles can be
(hopefully) avoided.
