I'd love to help but something seems to have gone wrong with the
pristine-tar branch so I can't build anything.
When I try to build the package I get:
$ gbp buildpackage
gbp:info: Creating /home/scott/yosys_0.49.orig.tar.gz
gbp:error: Error creating yosys_0.49.orig.tar.gz: Pristine-tar couldn't

[I see the same sort of errors happening in the CI on salsa.]
It looks like this bug in git-buildpackage:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031693
might screwed things up when you did the import-orig.

I'm setting up sbuild now. For some reason I thought that using gbp
sorted out the isolation but that's obviously not the case.

I didn't see that as my non-isolated builds would have picked up the
old versions of the python files from /usr/share/yosys since I had
yosys installed.
I think the fix will be to set $PYTHONPATH to point to the correct
directory in the source while the docs are being built. That way the
installed code won't have random paths embedded in it.

Do you get images in the pdfs?
If not I guess there's probably some extra bit of sphinx needed.
If you do then it might be yet another build ordering issue.
