This all looks reasonable to me.  I'm assuming that if you go with (2)
you'd drop sphinxdoc:Depends entirely, reducing the footprint of the
dependencies even further.

Many thanks for maintaining ncmpc in debian.  I've been using it for
years and it Just Works™ -- i haven't had to worry about it or fiddle
with it or anything.  Very much appreciated to have something nice to
use, simple and functional in easy reach!
