This makes sense. I will implement it when I have time.

In fact it affects not only Alabaster, but most other themes too (like
Sphinx' own built-in basic.css).

alabaster.css is generated from the template, so the resulting files
may vary from package to package.

If you open /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/alabaster/static/alabaster.css_t
you will see quite a lot template code there which will be replaced in
actual packages.
