Also, emerging either one of them with --nodeps ans USE="doc" fails, because dev-python/jinga2 needs sphinx for the doc use-flag, and dev-python/sphinx needs jinga for the same use-flag. Emerging one of them first with USE="-doc" and --nodeps option works as a workaround, after which the other one can be emerged with the doc use-flag followed by a re-emerge of the first with the doc use-flag.
Can't we remove the doc use flag for one of them ? Upstream just had to fix their shit if they want us to carry their doc.
