During my regular update, I see that net-dns/bind-tools is upgrading
from 9.14 to 9.16, and that's triggering the installation of _17_ new
packages (all apparently related to sphinx and Babel).

Is this sort of dependency bloat really necessary?

The "doc" flag for bind-tools is not set, so why does it demand that
sphinx be installed?

Does bind-tools really need packages like sphinxcontrib-qthelp,
sphinxcontrib-applehelp, sphinxcontrib-jsmath, sphinxcontrib-htmlhelp?
