[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#984973: mash FTBFS -- multiple reasons

[Nilesh Patra]

Package: mash
Version: 2.2.2+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftcbfs

Dear Maintainer,

Mash currently has cross-satisfiablity issues, due to python3-sphinx in
B-D. Since python3-sphinx is used for documentation, and mash has a
"-doc" package, python3-sphinx can simply be demoted to B-D-I
The change has been committed to salsa here[1]

Furthermore, its Makefile.in does not pass CC from configure.ac (i.e.
automake wouldn't pass it) and hence, it needs to contain "CXX = @CXX@"
it has been done in the commit[2]

Post this, it cross builds successfully. The changes in salsa at current
state fix it, and is ready for upload. It should be done post bullseye
release
