OK, I see. Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed to use any other target than
dh_installdocs for building the docs.

I tried again. Using (…)/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages doesn’t seem
to change anything.

I did...

Please do.
I’ve made a “better_rules” branch on
https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/debian-kwant.git (You can clone
that URL directly.)
You will also need
https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/debian-tinyarray.git as a
dependency.
Thanks,
Christoph
