You only did half of your job.

Do we want some docs being compressed, others not?
Do we want to have compressed docs at all?
What do you expect from maintainers now?

To me it means: Instead of using prepalldocs I will move the docdir to
a temporary place and dodoc every file back to docdir. Insane.
Maybe I add a function named prepalldocs to the ebuilds that does the job.

Thanks.
