RFC: pax-utils.eclass, downgrade from elog to einfo to avoid flooding logs
 

Hi everyone,

pax-utils.eclass generates a lot of log messages when marking a large
number of files, for example icedtea-bin. These messages are not that
useful, so I propose downgrading all elog's to einfo's to avoid
flooding. See bug #407503. If there are no objections, I'll commit the
following in a few days:

Okay no feedback. I'm assuming no one had any issues. I'm committing.
