I don't think the files/ directory contents were ever downloaded by
the ebuilds, they are a part of the portage tree, so they appear when
you sync. Maybe the files/ contents from the main tree were available
for your overlay ebuild somehow? I've never had that luxury, so now
I*m wondering how your ebuild ever worked :-)
