Portage reports the following warning message when emerging media-sound/mpd-0.21.4:

 * The ebuild is installing to one or more unexpected paths:
 * 
 *   /usr/share/doc/mpd
 * 
 * Please fix the ebuild to use correct FHS/Gentoo policy paths.

Comment 3 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-02-07 09:04:00 UTC 
Please report this upstream, because:

1.) meson itself does not have -Ddocdir option (yet) and this is not yet planned
2.) the upstream itself does not retrive a version for the doc paths as per

>install_dir: join_paths(get_option('datadir'), 'doc', meson.project_name()),

It *could* be fixed, but I am not eager to patch the build system rather leaving this up to upstream developer.
