Hey Dmitry, thanks for the quick response! We're not in a rush to release SageMath yet, so this is not super-urgent for us. However "soon" (say, < 1 month) would be nice - we do have to edit /usr/bin/dh_sphinxdoc manually in the meantime.

Otherwise the build fails, as opposed to "just" generating a package with missing functionality. I'm a bit hesistant to add "|| true" since that would hide other stuff.
