This would be reversing the recent recommendation to call `python3 -m sphinx` in preference to `sphinx-build` (e.g. in <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=945452> and <https://wiki.debian.org/Python/LibraryStyleGuide>). I don't fully understand what the reason for that recommendation was; does it still apply? smcv
