Ah, but the dep of whoosh on sphinx is conditional:

DEPEND="
        dev-python/setuptools[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]
        doc? ( dev-python/sphinx )
        test? ( dev-python/pytest[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] )"

So, bug #627244 is relevant after all.

I don't have doc in make.conf, so it should just work for me [murmurs a
