This is what I suspected.

Thanks - this works nicely.  Patch commited to Git.

Before I upload I would like to ask for some proper advise how to
deal with

   privacy-breach-uses-embedded-file ... You may use libjs-mathjax package.

lintian errors.  I have done this in d/rules by

   find debian/$(docpkg)/usr/share/doc/$(docpkg)/html -type f -name "*.html" -exec sed -i 's?http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/?/usr/share/javascript/mathjax?g' \{\} \;

which is not reliable since probably due to some change in sphinx the
expression has changed.  I wonder whether I could elegantly patch the
file doc/conf.py which has:

# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be extensions
# coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom ones.
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc', 'sphinx.ext.doctest', 'sphinx.ext.intersphinx', 'sphinx.ext.todo',
              'sphinx.ext.coverage', 'sphinx.ext.pngmath', 'sphinx.ext.mathjax', 'sphinx.ext.ifconfig', 'sphinx.ext.viewcode']


Is there anything I could do here to use local mathjax from beginning
instead of patching the resulting docs afterwards?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
