dh_sphinxdoc does not touch searchindex. It just symlinks some shared
scripts (jquery, underscore, etc) to packaged versions.

Setting PYTHONHASHSEED=0 for sphinx-build call works, but we should not
force all dependent packages to do that. (PYTHONHASHSEED=random is
default since Python 3.3).

Your patch works too, thanks! As it is more universal solution than
setting PYTHONHASHSEED=0, can you please add it to your pull request?
