Bug#1087292: at-spi2-core FTCBFS: sphinx dependency not satisfiable

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: at-spi2-core
Version: 2.54.0-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

at-spi2-core cannot be cross built from source, because its build
dependency on python3-sphinx is not satisfiable. Fortunately, the
documentation is already split to two Arch:all packages and there is a
configure option -Ddocs=... that does not influence non-documentation
artifacts. We can simply skip the entire documentation build for
arch-only (and thus speed up builds on buildds) and thus move sphinx to
B-D-I making it irrelevant to cross building. I'm attaching a patch for
your convenience. I also recommend dropping support for the nodoc build
profile, because an arch-only build effectively is a better way of
achieving a build without documentation for at-spi2-core. It doesn't
actually become cross buildable for reasons outside of at-spi2-core's
control.
