Bug#565902: /usr/bin/gtkdoc-fixxref: gtkdoc-fixxref fails with missing -sections.txt files

[Michael Biebl]

Package: gtk-doc-tools
Version: 1.13-1
Severity: serious
File: /usr/bin/gtkdoc-fixxref
Justification: makes packages ftbfs

Hi,

packages that were created using older versions of gtk-doc-tools
(<< 1.13) and built fine using older versions of gtkdoc-fixxref
now suddenly ftbfs as gtkdoc-fixxref is looking for -secions.txt files
and dies if not.
As an example, see [1]. Such a change in behaviour is imo not acceptable
as it causes unnecessary build failures.

Michael
