We had a report today of dev-perl/Image-Imlib2 installing only docs (fixed it in 4a5d0cd2749b91b901985cf711ce388dea3b573a):
```
# equery f Image-Imlib2
 * Searching for Image-Imlib2 ...
 * Contents of dev-perl/Image-Imlib2-2.30.0-r2:
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/Image-Imlib2-2.30.0-r2
/usr/share/doc/Image-Imlib2-2.30.0-r2/CHANGES.bz2
/usr/share/doc/Image-Imlib2-2.30.0-r2/README.bz2
```

This happened in the past too with e.g. bug 827966.

We should add a QA check for when only docs are installed and nothing else (with some var to override it) as it usually implies a broken configure check.
