I just installed the experimental dev-python/pyogg-1.3 ebuild and noticed the dodoc stage looks for a few files that don't exist. Looking at the ebuild, it looks like a distutils eclass interaction. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

not really a problem, just a warning. this is part of the distutils eclass which checks for default documents recommended in python modules. if the python modules doesn't have it, they don't get installed. the output is just for verbosity.
