Not sure I understand how dh-python / pybuild help with this problem.
I thought the recommended way to deal with building documentation was
something like this in debian/rules:
override_dh_auto_build:
dh_auto_build
PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-build -b html -N Doc/ Doc/.build/html
... in which case building the documentation happens outside
dh_auto_build.
Did I miss something here?
