* Messages for package media-libs/coin-3.1.2: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a * file.

emerging with USE="-doc" (qwt in my case) and then coin works - as expected

How about renaming file instead of blocking otherwise not-related to each other packages?

I have better idea, since Coin installs whole bunch of manual pages (with likely colliding names like sound or threads), I'll install manpages in alternate location. Also, taking over maintenance.
