The dohtml call in ebuilds is often used to insert Javadoc documentation into the install.  As part of this documentation, a file called 'package-list' is created by Javadoc which contains information about what packages are documented in a particular documentation directory.  Although this file is not needed to browse the documentation as a user, development tools such as Eclipse rely on this file in order to be able to integrate the documentation.  Although this can worked-around by manually installing the file in the ebuild, it is often overlooked.  A more practical solution is to add 'package-list' to the list of the file types automatically copied over by dohtml.
