[Python-modules-team] Bug#861567: sphinx: 1.5.3+ breaks src:dask build

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Source: sphinx
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks build of reverse dependencies.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a problem in sphinx or not,
I noticed this failure on src:dask in Ubuntu, and it is
reproducible with 1.5.3 and 1.5.5 in Ubuntu artful and Debian experimental.

For some reasons the _static directory is not copied correctly during doc generation,
and the build fails because of a missing symlink

dh_installdocs -O--buildsystem=pybuild
dh_sphinxdoc -O--buildsystem=pybuild
dh_sphinxdoc: debian/python-dask-doc/usr/share/doc/python-dask-doc/html/_static/mathjax/MathJax.js is missing
debian/rules:5: recipe for target 'binary' failed


Can you please have a look and reassing back in case?

thanks,

Gianfranco
