Assuming that the gi-docgen class is intended to make the build of docs 
configurable via the ‘api-documentation’ distro feature, this 
option is not available in malcontent's meson.build. gi-docgen is a 
hard dependency, and the doc build cannot be disabled. Therefore, I 
thought it would be simpler and better reflect what the developer wants 
to simply include `gidocgen-native` as a dependency without any 
conditions.


You mean PV should be included in the recipe name? That's not so easy 
with malcontent. We build it twice. First, without the graphical user 
interface, so we can use it as a dependency for flatpak without 
circular dependencies. Then, a second time, we build the full version 
but manually install only the files for the graphical user interface to 
avoid multiple file providers in `do_rootfs`. Thats why were dependent 
on the recipes being updated together, and that's why PV is included in 
`malcontent.inc`.
