Thanks for clarifying the situation.  If the architecture-dependent
packages don't need to ship any generated documentation, you could also
mitigate the problem by moving python-sphinx to Build-Depends-Indep and
adjusting debian/rules to cope with the possibility that it might be
absent (or too old to be of interest).  Although the unsatisfiable build
dependency would still formally be a bug, it would at least no longer
affect the autobuilders.  (The only other practical impact of such a bug
would be to hold up migration to testing, but that's in deep freeze at
the moment anyway.)

Could you please consider such a change?

Thanks!
