Description solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

On a system without groff & man installed (such as uclibc using +nocxx) the depends for bind show groff. Groff depends on c++ support being enabled 
and also pulls in man. (this is undesirable)

[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/groff-1.19.2  USE="-X" 2,835 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] net-dns/bind-9.3.2  USE="-berkdb -dlz -doc -idn -ipv6 -ldap -mysql -odbc -postgres -ssl -threads" 0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/man-1.6b-r2  233 kB 

This made no sense to me. 
So I checked it out to confirm what I was thinking.

cd /usr/portage/net-dns/bind
ebuild bind-9.3.2.ebuild clean setup unpack compile install
And we have no problems at all. 
So.. Why does the groff depend exists?

Also the RDEPEND= handling for bind adds sys-devel/autoconf which is 
definitely not required to run named.
