The bad way would be to 
issue "ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/vde/vde-1.5.8.ebuild digest" to 
rigenerate the meta-info, and re-emerge vde.

The better way is to use an overlay (eg, /usr/local/portage), copy the 
ebuild there, modify it and run the above commands on _that_ copy of the 
ebuild. See here for more info about portage overlays:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Portage_Overlay
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
(your modified ebuild becomes sort of a "3rd party" ebuild)

And don't forget to file a bug with the results.
