Does anyone have an opinion to offer on bug 501468?

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501468

It's been annoying me for a week now with this message:

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: www-client/firefox-40.0.2
 *  - /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so
 *      used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libdbusservice.so
(mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0)
 *      used by /usr/lib64/thunderbird/components/libmozgnome.so
(mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0)
 *      used by
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/components/libcalbasecomps.so
(mail-client/thunderbird-38.2.0)
 *      used by 4 other files


Both Mozilla products ship this file:

$ locate libmozalloc
/usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libmozalloc.so

and according to preserved libs, thunderbird linked to the firefox copy.
The only offered solution on the bug is to use a MASK variable, which
seems to me an ugly hammer to swat a fly.

I was wondering if there's a better way been developed in the last year.
