https://salsa.debian.org/debian/developers-reference/-/commit/29014c3d02b1a44aa983557b4887f4302c2136c5
shows how to use dh_sphinxdoc (instead of dh_linktree which also does
and did the right thing here), which then in turn adds the right
depends/recommends to the binary packages.

(The dh_linktree solution used a hack/workaround in d/rules to turn
the depends into recommends, but I recommend the dh_spinxdoc solution
anyway.)
