It may be a good idea, for that package, but not globally. Even so,
unless you need API documentation, I doubt you want that flag.

The usual solution is to install with -doc first and then enable the
flag. This often brings in a long list of dependencies, which is where
the problems can arise. I don't have a problems with Gentoo devs not
