Nevertheless, what am I supposed to do? Write (a) bug report(s) (submit
patches) for each package with gzipped HTML docs I run across --- there
seem to be a lot... Or, and this makes this a more general question,
can/could this be handled on the portage/ebuild level? (I am still
at portage 1.8.8)

I guess I'am expecting (hoping for) some response from
management. Let me know whether to shut up, swamp bugs.gentoo.org
or to look into modifying ebuild (the latter may turn out problematic,
as my programming experience is rather limited...)   

Cheers,

Stefan
