Down the line, if prefix is approved/integrated, then an actual EAPI release will be used instead of the fake one created. Either way, why there are no ebuilds is due to portage automatically filtering out all ebuilds that lack a matching EAPI. It's a protection feature, if portage doesn't know of that EAPI level, it won't allow the user to use it. Unless you're using the overlay already, in which case I question if portage is actually using the prefix overlay ;) ~harring
