Package: python3-sphinx Version: 8.1.3-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
the mentioned patch includes the hunk:

ENV_PICKLE_FILENAME = 'environment.pickle'
which causes `sphinx-build -b htmlhelp` to fail with the highly non-helpful
error message:
Sphinx error:
Builder name htmlhelp not registered or available through entry point
This is since that line causes Sphinx to actively probe for installed
(Debian or otherwise) first-party extensions. Without that line, Sphinx
instead expects the package to export an according entry point, which Sphinx’
own first-party extensions do not do.
Please remove the hunk in question and instead add the following hunks to have
Sphinx attempt to load all first-party extensions but still tolerate their
absence:
