As vapier said, doc useflag does not mean much in this discussion. FEATURES="nodoc" is less than an install mask, as it just (iirc) make dodoc commands no-ops. An INSTALL_MASK makes simpler to handle that. We already use the doc useflag to avoid adding dependencies only for doc building, so the similar meaning for info and man is already in use.
Basic doc does not require any dep (as it's already built), while man and info requires the man command and texinfo, so there's a big difference. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ Gentoo/ALT lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE
