prefix portage _only_ allows using EAPI="prefix" ebuilds right now.

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 ;)
