Gentoo also does this:
progsreiserfs_warning() {
	ewarn "progsreiserfs has been proven dangerous in the past, 
generating bad"
	ewarn "partitions and destroying data on resize/cpfs operations."
	ewarn "Because of this, we do NOT provide their binaries, but only

	ewarn "libraries instead, as these are needed for other

	# Make sure users only use the official namesys binaries
	rm -r "${D}"/usr/{sbin,share/man} || die "cant punt the cruft"
