The return-on-investment is too low, since we'd have to hack every
upstream build system to support it, and almost everyone wants the man
pages anyway. They're tiny, and the package is often unusable without them.

These are build-only dependencies so "emerge --depclean" can remove them
after you install bind-tools. In a source-based distro, you should
probably just get comfortable with having a million build tools
installed though.
