This was already discussed three years ago in bug 449806, which was |

closed as WONTFIX. |

Basically, in EAPI 6 you can do the following in src_install(): |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
einstalldocs # or part of "default" |
| 22 |
dodoc ANY ADDITIONAL DOC FILES |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Only two lines. Do you think this is untidy? |
