general-concepts/mirrors: improve bad upstream distfile rename text If an upstream updates a distfile in a way that requires an ebuild revision bump, remind readers to remove the ebuilds associated with the old distfile. This is necessary because the Manifest entry for the old tarball has its checksum changed due to upstream and cause checksum mismatches during merges.
