which contains the following:
move net-wireless/madwifi-tools
net-wireless/madwifi-ng-tools
move net-wireless/madwifi-driver
net-wireless/madwifi-ng
These are instructions to portage to move things around for installed
packages. For example, if someone had net-wireless/madwifi-tools
installed, well that is now "net-wireless/madwifi-ng-tools" in
portage. So portage needs to update the installed package database in
/var/pkg/db to reflect the new name, so the user continues to receive
updates for it.

"update"? Is 2Q-2006 supposed to have anything to do
with emerge -u portage? It doesn't look like it. But
then what is it for?
What you really should have seen was a message that said "Applying
2Q-2006 updates" or some such. Not a "go look at this file" message.
