Sorry I wasn't so much trying to get support here as validating that I 
wasn't just doing something stupid.  I submitted the bug report, so 
hopefully it should be fixed.  I think in this case it was simply a 
matter that the build cycle had been setup on early 1.8.0 and they had 
just copied and modified the ebuild for each version after.  I mean it 
does have 1.8.2preview2 as the ebuild right now, I guess no one realized 
about the docs thats all.
