The "doc" USE flag isn't for installing basic docs for a package - |
| 14 |
those should already be part of a normal merge. The doc use flag is for |
| 15 |
installing "extra" documentaion of any kind. Making the installation of |
| 16 |
examples dependent on the "doc" use flag is perfectly fine. I don't see |
| 17 |
that adding an extra use flag specifically for examples as a good idea. |
