Bug#987572: FTCBFS: unsatisfiable python3-sphinx dependency

[Nilesh Patra]

Package: biboumi
Version: 9.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nilesh at debian.org, nilesh at debian.org, debian-cross at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

biboumi cannot be cross built from source, because:

a) It has a B-D on python3-sphinx and due to package not being split
into and -doc arch:all package, we cannot move python3-sphinx to B-D-I
sphinx itself cannot be marked M-A:foreign and in biboumi it does not
seem to display any arch specific behaviour. So we annotate it with
:native to make it cross buildable

b) It has a B-D on gcc (>= 4:5) which is completely un-necessary.
It is a part of build-essential and will get pulled eventually.
I did a $git blame and saw the relevant commit for it, which seems to
explicitly B-D on gcc just for versioned dep. The current version of gcc
is 4:10.2.1-1 - hence such a relation is not really needed now.

The attached patch attempts to fix the above problems, and I'm able to
cross build it. Please consider applying.
