well, since it's the gentoo people who use a structure different from 
tds, it's up to them to provide support for that; btw, this 
var/lib/texmf path looks unfamiliar to me (i wonder what libs tex ships 
with/provides -)

the problem is that there are so many texmf paths nowadays (not 
texmf-xxx under one root, but multiple texmf (main) paths in different 
locations that the change for clashes is pretty big)
