Are you aware of SRC_URI arrows which have been supported since EAPI 2? For
example:

EAPI=2
SRC_URI="https://cgwb.nci.nih.gov/cgi-bin/bambino?download_bambino_jar=core ->
bambino_core_1.02.jar
https://cgwb.nci.nih.gov/cgi-bin/bambino?download_bambino_jar=bundle ->
bambino_bundle_1.02.jar"

> Anyways, I tend to object as the trick is not documented here anyways: ;)
> http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html#src_uri

You can file a new bug for that and assign to qa@gentoo.org.

the devmanual states right up front that all bugs against it are to be addressed to qa@gentoo.org, not the gdp.

It is documented under Ebuild Writing / EAPI Usage and Description, however I agree that it could be repeated under Ebuild Writing / Variables.
