I fixed our other issue in git and now I'm seeing these sphinxdoc errors:

[..]
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/infinity0/var/lib/sage/sagemath'
dh_sphinxdoc -XMathJax.js -Xtranslations.js -Xsearchtools.js
dh_sphinxdoc: ignoring unknown JavaScript code: debian/sagemath-doc-ca/usr/share/doc/sagemath/html/ca/intro/_static/thebe-sage.js
[..]
dh_sphinxdoc: debian/sagemath-doc-en/usr/share/doc/sagemath/html/en/reference/_sources/lie_algebras.rst.txt is missing
debian/rules:199: recipe for target 'override_dh_sphinxdoc' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_sphinxdoc] Error 2

Dmitry, if we need to further patch Sphinx or Sage, I'd be happy to do that. But what exactly is needed? I'm not sure if I totally understood the ticket you linked:

https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/2454

Do we just need to put the equivalent of this:

https://github.com/mitya57/matplotlib/commit/53e6bc46d2f010f9a80e0c73dceb6166705f608f

into Sage's layout templates?
