Looks like it is enabled but you are not aware of it. From the ebuild:
DEPEND=${RDEPEND}
=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.16
=sys-devel/gettext-0.11
=dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.11
doc? (
=dev-libs/libxslt-1.0

~app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 )
unzip, libgpg-error and libgcrypt look like routine updates
I do not think so. If they were just updates, they should be
marked as [ebuild U]...
unzip is probably being pulled in from sgml-common
the gpg stuff is coming from dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26 USE=crypt python -

So it's all perfectly legit.
emerge with -t is your friend in such cases.

gtk-doc-am is now a hard dependency, and it depends on the other three.
Jarry, this is mentioned in both the ebuild comments and the ChangeLog,
the latter should be the first place you look for unexpected changes.

[gentoo-user] Some corruption after gnome 2.30
I'm running amd64 and am getting some screen corruption, which i believe coincided with the last gnome update. For example in firefox the address bar or bookmarks toolbar buttons can go black then come good again and i can get black bands when i scroll. revdep-rebuild hasnt helped. What should i try next?
[gentoo-user] eth0 cannot start up
hi, after a sudden power cut off, my gentoo system cannot connect to the network any more... the system can be started, but when starting dhcp, it reports Cannot assign requested address. if tried ifconfig eth0 up, it reports the same error. using dmesg|grep eth0 and dmesg|grep network, it shows the system has detected my network card. any idea what is the cause of the problem? -- Best Regards, Xi Shen (David) http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
