Basically at some point I tried to replicate
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-misc/cadaver/cadaver-0.23.3.ebuild
which worked but then I messed it up by unbundling more
than just neon. And then many months back I had no regular
use for the package anymore.

What Gentoo does seems to work as Gentoo is on neon 30.2

So, I tried exactly what you did, it just had been so
long ago that I worked on this.
