This is a symptom of another problem. The man user claims /usr/share/man
as its home directory, and insists on changing its permissions to
root:root 0755. Why? If the default homedir and owner will work, they
should be used. We're going to have a mountain of shit on our hands if
acct-user packages start claiming random directories as their homes and
reset the permissions/ownership on them randomly.

(If the "man" user really reads things from e.g. $HOME/man5/ebuild.5,
I'll eat my foot.)

Agreed. Please file a bug about this.
