Bug#709673: sphinx: FTBFS: AssertionError: makeinfo exited with return code 1

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Control: reassign -1 texinfo
Control: found -1 texinfo/5.1.dfsg.1-3
Control: tags -1 + upstream patch

This is actually an issue in texinfo's parser, which doesn't support
arguments to @enumerate more than 10.

This was discussed on upstream mailing list, and a patch that fixes
the issue was proposed (attached).

See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2013-07/index.html>.

Reassigning accordingly.
