[Python-modules-team] Bug#712426: /usr/bin/dh_sphinxdoc: dh_sphinxdoc: fails with "unknown JavaScript code"

[Nikolaus Rath]

Package: sphinx-common
Version: 1.1.3+dfsg-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dh_sphinxdoc

For the s3ql-beta package (not yet uploaded), dh_sphinxdoc fails with:

   dh_installdocs
      dh_sphinxdoc
      dh_sphinxdoc: error: unknown JavaScript code:
      debian/s3ql-beta/usr/share/doc/s3ql-beta/html/_static/jquery.js
      make: *** [binary] Error 255

I think this may be related to the documentation being generated with
python3-sphinx (rather than python-sphinx).

On a related note, if dh_sphinxdoc cannot identify a JavaScript code,
wouldn't it be more appropriate to just include it in the package
instead of bailing out?
