Well, in that case (if the wiki is right) then the instructions result
in a new machine not working. I had to change the path in the echo
command to make portage happy. I did not modify the path in
/etc/layman/layman.cfg.

Probably someone other than me should try this from scratch on a
machine that's never had layman on it to double check. I think there's
still a problem here somewhere.
