The idea mentioned in the bottom of that post was implemented, *however* it did not make the situation better. As dh(1) says: | A Build-Depends relation on the package dh-sequence-addon implies a --with | addon. [...] Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Depends-Arch are deliberately | unsupported. So for now your options are: 1) Running dh_sphinxdoc manually (e.g. in override_dh_installdocs). 2) Build-Depending on sphinx-common so that dh_sphinxdoc is always available. 3) Using tricks like https://bugs.debian.org/836699#12. -- Dmitry Shachnev
