I think the reason is different: this package does use dh_sphinxdoc, however after building docs it replaces static paths using some sed calls in packaging/linux/debian.sh, and dh_sphinxdoc does not understand what happens here. I can maybe fix this in dh_sphinxdoc: canonicalizing the paths before doing the symlinking should help. But I think the portabase package may need an update too. The comment in packaging/linux/debian.sh says: “generate the help files here, since even unstable uses an outdated Sphinx”. But resources/help/conf.py has “needs_sphinx = '1.1'”, and testing ships Sphinx 1.4.9, which should be new enough (and we had Sphinx 1.1 in 2012), so maybe this hack is not needed at all. -- Dmitry Shachnev
