This command does not make any sense. dh_sphinxdoc operates on *installed*
documentation, and looks for files in debian/{packagename}/ directories.
(or debian/tmp/ when there is only one binary package).

Passing the path is usually not necessary (just calling it with no arguments
after the files are installed is enough), but when you pass the path, it
should be relative to the installation root directory.
