Dear Jakub,
Thank you for a lovely dh_sphinxdoc helper that you've made.
Let me share one little improvement suggestion with you.
Recently I was packaging a software installing different sphinx-generated
translations to /usr/share/{packagename}/help/{cs,en,fr,ja}
I've noticed that even if I pass "usr/share/{packagename}/help" as argument to
dh_sphinxdoc it can't find documentation so I have to pass
"usr/share/{packagename}/help/{lang}" as many times as I have translations to
process.
At the moment to avoid passing multiple arguments to dh_sphinxdoc I've changed
location for docs files to "usr/share/doc/{packagename}/help" where
dh_sphinxdoc found all the translations automatically without any additional
arguments.
Perhaps you would agree that it is a bit inconvenient to change docs install
location together with introducing a compatibility symlink just to overcome
this little limitation in dh_sphinxdoc.
I hope it will be relatively easy to add support for recursive processing of
"usr/share/{packagename}" locations (if given as argument to dh_sphinxdoc),
similar to how "usr/share/doc/{packagename}" locations are being scanned.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dmitry.
