 * Next you need to run:
 *   /usr/sbin/sensors-detect
 * to detect the I2C hardware of your system and create the file:
 *   /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors
 *
 * You will also need to run the above command if you're upgrading from
 * <=lm_sensors-2.9.0, as the needed entries in /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors has
 * changed.
 *
 * Be warned, the probing of hardware in your system performed by
 * sensors-detect could freeze your system. Also make sure you read
 * the documentation before running lm_sensors on IBM ThinkPads.
 *
 * Please see the lm_sensors documentation and website for more information.

Seems like a pkg_config running sensors-detect would be nice. This would help if Portage some day can tell you what packages have -config available after installing a bunch of packages.

Also it says please see website for more information so it would be nice to have a link to the website under it.

I won't put sensors-detect into pkg_config until bug 157085 is fixed.

I just updated pkg_postinst.
