update-eix-remote

Thanks very much for your "*" tip :D
I used to have the command sequence "sudo eix-sync $$ layman -S" as an alias in my .bashrc. Now I only have eix-sync ;)

I want to comment about update-eix-remote, hoping you have an answer.
a) If it is run *before* eix-sync, I lose the possibility of searching in non-installed overlays, but only in the installed ones.
b) If, on the other hand, update-eix-remote is run *after* eix-sync, the info regarding installed overlays is lost. In this latter case an "eix -I [package]" returns "No matches found" although [package] is installed from an overlay.

Do you know how to solve it?
