No. kernel-2 installs sources, not an actual package.

Not dual standards at all. There's nothing wrong with saying "don't do
x unless you're doing y", with appropriate justification.

No proof?
Sheesh, you'll probably claim that this isn't broken next too:
if [ "${IS_UPGRADE}" = "1" ] ; then
einfo "Removing old version ${REMOVE_PKG}"
emerge -C "${REMOVE_PKG}"
fi
Semantics of the logic aside, calling emerge from within an ebuild is a
BIG nono.
