Think of html as binary and code/documentation as source. By
rebuilding you will make sure that:

1) It's up to date
2) That htmls were not modified
3) The source works and produces correct documentation

You should ship upstream "binaries" or html documentation because it's
not the source (preferred form of modification). And think about the
case when later you gonna apply a patch to the package you would want
it to make it into documentation. Source+patches should match to
produced documentation.

I have no clue about the js file bit though. Remove it (via patch) and
symlink it from the shipped package by debian? That is my wild guess.
Or maybe contact sphinx maintainer in Debian. I hope there is an
option to symlink it.
