Indeed my comment applies only if Sphinx is invoked by pybuild (for example if it's called by setup.py build). If it's invoked separately the only ways would be to export http(s)_proxy in debian/rules or patch conf.py to get correct intersphinx mapping. Unfortunately there is no easy way for Sphinx to detect if it's invoked as part of the package build process, so the ways I can change it are limited. -- Dmitry Shachnev
