Interesting (and yes, old) bug.  I'm on portage-2.2.8-r1 but maybe
this is a related issue.  I tried disabling my "dev-haskell/* doc" USE
line, changed the world lines to exact versions, and moved them to a
set as Neil suggested, but I still get rebuilds, and Portage doesn't
say why.

(Fewer rebuilds now, independent of the USE=-doc change:)
