I found this changes between the two ebuilds that could explain the bug.

<       distutils_src_install --install-data=/usr/share/doc/${PF}
---
>       distutils_src_install --install-data=${ROOT}/usr/share/doc/${PF}

Come on, it takes 2 minutes to fix this bug!! It's annoying, but I'm tired of
waiting. It'll go to the PORTAGE_OVERLAY.
