I am slowly working on Sphinx 2.x in Debian. It is quite tricky because some builders have been split into separate modules on PyPI, so I need either to package them separately or patch out dependencies on them. As my time is limited, expect it to be ready in several weeks, not earlier. After that I will see whether it’s possible to make it coexist with sphinx 1.8 for Python 2. -- Dmitry Shachnev
