[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#783795: python-sphinx-rtd-theme: Please do not depend on python-sphinx

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Package: python-sphinx-rtd-theme
Version: 0.1.7-1

Dear Maintainer,

The latest Sphinx release (1.3.x) depends on sphinx-rtd-theme. Namely,
sphinx/theming.py has unconditional "import sphinx_rtd_theme".

Because of that, I am going to make python{,3}-sphinx depend on
python{,3}-sphinx-rtd-theme. To avoid the circular dependency, can you
please downgrade the "Depends:" on your side to "Recommends:" for
both packages?

It looks to me that "import sphinx_rtd_theme" will succeed even
when Sphinx is not installed (but not vice versa).

And if someone builds a package that needs sphinx-rtd-theme, then that
package probably already build-depends on Sphinx anyway.
