Are you sure that pydata-sphinx-theme really works? The binary package in unstable does not contain pydata-sphinx-theme.js or pydata-sphinx-theme.css, which are present in upstream wheel. And the only CSS file which is shipped in the package has just one line: @import "../basic.css". I made an attempt to generate pydata-sphinx-theme CSS file from SASS sources, but unfortunately those files seem to use syntax and functions that are only supported by dart-sass, and not by libsass or ruby-sass. And dart-sass is not yet packaged in Debian [1]. The wnpp bug suggests using rsass, but rsass does not yet support all features required by bootstrap [2]. While some parts of the code can be downgraded to older SASS standard by renaming the functions, there is e.g. use of pow() function [3] for which I found no replacement. So, it looks like we need a volunteer to package dart and dart-sass, before pydata-sphinx-theme or sphinx-book-theme are actually useful. Or, alternatively, we can use pre-built CSS files from upstream for now. This sounds like a much simpler path than the previous option, so I can try to implement it myself. What do you think?
