As I understand it, Gentoo is supposed to build everything from the source
anyway, you would not want to use pregenerated info nor pdf, no?  You
shouldn't be using pregenerated html nor man for that matter...

FWIW, you can already say "make info" and "make pdf" yourselves if you
have necessary toolchains installed.  Integration is not an issue.

Neither my primary development box (Debian, which I would test before
pushing things out) nor the machine at k.org I use for the final sanity
check (FC11, on which the documents are automatically generated) has
dblatex nor docbook2x installed.  I am not particularly enthused about
installing a lot of dependencies for these packages on my machine.  I do
not want to bother k.org admins who are already overloaded to install
these on their machines either.
