That is because the ebuilds install a file in /etc/revdep-rebuild that
instruct revdep-rebuild to mask the appropriate directories.
Quoting from "man revdep-rebuild"
CONFIGURATION
revdep-rebuild no longer uses hardcoded paths. To change the default
behavior the following variables can be
changed by the user.
SEARCH_DIRS - List of directories to search for executables and libraries
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK - List of directories to not search
These variables can be prepended to either by setting the variable in
your environment prior to execution, by
placing an entry in /etc/make.conf, or by placing a file in
/etc/revdep-rebuild containing the appropriate
variables.
The variables are read and set in the following order:
environment settings - one time changes by user
/etc/make.conf - persistant changes by user
/etc/revdep-rebuild/* - persistant changes by ebuild authors
While a user can edit and modify the files in the
/etc/revdep-rebuild directory, please be aware that the
/etc/revdep-rebuild directory is not under configuration protection and
files can be removed and/or overwritten
by an ebuild. To change this add /etc/revdep-rebuild to the
CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf.

Paul
