The dependency blockage hasn't changed: the source form of the work, including the documentation, still has build dependencies not yet in Debian. Bundling the generated form of the documentation (the HTML files) in the release doesn't affect this. The Debian project still needs to keep its promise that the recipient can modify any part of the package at the source level, and build it from the modified source using only Debian. That means the recipient of Debian must be able to build the documentation from the reST files. And that means Debian needs to include the dependencies for building the documentation, including required Docutils extensions <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/559916>. So my advice to anyone who wants to work toward getting ‘bugs-everywhere’ to enter Debian again is to work with the packagers of its build dependencies, including getting Bug#559916 fixed.
