Bug#983102: casync FTCBFS: python3-sphinx dependency not installable

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: casync
Version: 2+20190213-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

casync cannot be cross built from source, because it requests a host
architecture python3 via its python3-sphinx dependency and that cannot
be installed. sphinx is one of those strange things that can exhibit
architecture-dependent behaviour, but usually does not. As a
consequence, it cannot be marked Multi-Arch: foreign. casync uses it in
an architecture-independent way (for generating its manual page) though,
so it would be happy with a build architecture sphinx. We cannot get rid
of the dependency e.g. via B-D-I as casync does not split documentation
to an arch:all -doc package. As such I propose simply annotating the
dependency :native and doing so is sufficient to make casync cross
buildable. Please consider applying the attached patch.
