if the folder doc/ wouldn't exist make would also fail on this step, so
that's not the root for the bug report Adrian has created. For sure
something isn't working as expected but I don't see why is working with
sbuild and pbuilder and also on the first run of the reproducible setup
but not on the second.

Since version 29 (or was it also in 28) the documentation comes with the
files configure.ac and Makefile.am which are the base for configuring a
project by the autotools. Instead of doing some manual lyx calls to
create the documentation we should fix the current poor implementation
of the autotools files.
