FEATURES=digest results in a scary warning and a possibly dangerous
re-generation of manifests at the beginning of every emerge:

 * The FEATURES=digest setting can prevent corruption from being noticed.
 * The `repoman manifest` command is the preferred way to generate
 * manifests and it is capable of doing an entire repository or category at
 * once.

However, FEATURES=digest is enabled in the developer profile, and only
in that profile:

$ egrep '^FEATURES=.*digest' -r /usr/portage/profiles/
/usr/portage/profiles/targets/developer/make.defaults:FEATURES="collision-protect
digest multilib-strict sign splitdebug stricter test test-fail-continue
userpriv usersandbox"

I'd like to suggest removing "digest" from the line above. I've been
running with the developer profile and -digest in /etc/make.conf, and
everything is working fine.
