Gentoo here ;)

The doc part looks ok to me.  We have a similar thing for a long time
installed because some users want to save space (and time).  Doc
generation is considered a lengthy process with hefty dependencies.  If
you don't care about it, needless to fail on it.

Gentoo also ships libtinfow when wide char support (unicode) is enabled.
I can't tell you much more than that, I'm affraid.
