I discussed this in the Ubuntu MOTU IRC channel (assuming there are some people who know about both Debian and Ubuntu buildd).[1] I was told that ideally I should have 'make doc' target called from build-indep, but this doesn't work in practice as dpkg-buildpackage always calls both build-arch and build-indep targets. So I tried following Steve Langasek's suggestion of adding 'make doc' in binary-indep. But then the screenshots generated are somehow ugly for reason that I don't know.[2] I agree that this is more of a hack than a solution. But this is the best I have got considering that I have to find a common solution which will work on both Debian as well as Ubuntu buildd. Meanwhile I will work with upstream to get this working without any hacks, once I sync up upstream code and start looking into it.
