Package: libpmix-dev
Version: 5.0.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The documentation of pmix packaged in libpmix-dev appears to be
pre-built, so I don't see any reason why libpmix-dev should depend on
the documentation build tool python3-sphinx. It also contains its own
copy of jquery once built, so the dependency on libjs-query seems
unnecessary.

Furthermore, building against libpmix should not require having sphinx
and jquery installed. If they are somehow required for viewing the
documentation (I doubt this), then perhaps the documentation should be
moved to a separate package.
