Dear Maintainer,

bind9 is a key package and that is fine.

https://release.debian.org/key-packages.html

byt this vertue it is also making all this runtime
and build-time dependency key_packages too.

While being pleasant, I do not believe that the
Read Teeh Docs Sphixn theme is a crucial package
to get a system up & running to build other packages.


Please annotate d/control as such:

  Build-Depends-Indep: fonts-freefont-otf <!nodoc>,
                       latexmk <!nodoc>,
                       python3-sphinx <!nodoc>,
                       python3-sphinx-rtd-theme <!nodoc>,
                       texlive-fonts-extra <!nodoc>,
                       texlive-latex-recommended <!nodoc>,
                       texlive-xetex <!nodoc>,

This will let python3-sphinx-rtd-theme & python3-sphinx
loose their key_package status once all other _key_ packages
are fixed the same way.

This will generate an almost empty "bind9-doc", this is normal.

The Makefiles most likely need to be patched or called
with the right arguments to stop trying generating this documentation.

Greetings

Alexandre

Hi,

I m on Holliday this week so I can only glimpse at it. I see that d/rules
is untouched and "dh_auto_build -- all html" is still unconditionally run
and would now most likely fail with the nodoc profile.

I cannot run "sbuild --profile=nodoc" on a phone so cannot be sure.

Salsa CI can also test the nodoc profile if told to.

I will come back to this

Greetings

There is no Salsa CI enabled in the bind9 repo (@Ondrej: should we?) but
it does work as expected. I guess that's because it just detects
sphinx-build not being available and skipping that bit
