They're relevant to portage stable; down the line it'll likely be mtime based. Right now that 4 digit number is an internal incrementing counter that's tagged into the log file name.

Name the former > package-version.log and the latter package-version.msg Doesn't work that way, and what you're after (restating your 'installer' as enotice/ewarn/einfo) is elog, something that'll be in the next major version. You're seeing two logs due to the fact you have FEATURES="buildpkg" on; effectively, portage build's the binpkg (log 1), then merges it (log 2). This is inneficient though, since it builds up one $IMAGE dir, binpkg's it, then dumps it to another dir and installs from that. That's an old annoyance that should die a miserable death soon enough. ~harring
