from the part section.

Note that this isn't important and illustrates the rather dumb feature  
that if you omit the eggs option, the part name is used as the value  
of the eggs section.  This feature should be deprecated.

This has nothing to dowith whether the eggs option was used.  The egg  
is updated at the end because we ran buildout in the default mode  
which looks for newest versions of distributions.
