[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#721780: htseq: FTBFS: dh_sphinxdoc: Sphinx documentation not found

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Diane,

I can confirm that `dpkg-buildpackage -B` really fails.  The buildlog
says a bit earlier than the quote below:

  copying static files... WARNING: html_static_path entry '/tmp/python-htseq/doc/_static' does not exist

Please keep us (or debian-python) informed if you might need help to fix
this.  (If I would be pretty comfortable with sphinx documentation I
would have injected a fix in Git but I also need to think about this
issue.)

BTW, please `git pull` - I did some cosmetic changes.  I also stumbled
upon your clean target in debian/rules.  May be I'm missing something
but I'm temped to change this to


diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules

Kind regards
