I'm looking into NMUing opencv for the libstdc++ transition.

This change does not actually address the opencv FTBFS, because opencv
specifically reads sphinx-build's stderr, and the newly patched
sphinx-build writes to stdout.

I personally think the right solution to this is for opencv to stop
checking the sphinx-build version at all, since it doesn't actually
use it for anything, and that's what I intend to NMU if its maintainers
don't object.
