Portage:

Ebuild installs HTML docs and bash scriptlets into ${DOCDIR}.  Because the scriptlets are referenced from the HTML I need to avoid compression, so ebuild does (EAPI=4):

  src_install() {
      dodoc -r *
      docompress -x /usr/share/doc/${PF}
  }

User set PORTAGE_COMPRESS="" in make.conf (I'm assuming to prevent any compression?).  Result is nothing at all gets installed.  Is this expected behavior or are we doing something wrong?
