Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to reduce the key package set.

I noticed that lxml does not require python3-sphinx-autoapi anymore to build.

Can you please remove the one line from d/control ?

Greetings

Alexandre






lxml-6.1.0$ cat doc/api/conf.py
# -- General configuration ---------------------------------------------------

extensions = [
    'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
    'sphinx.ext.viewcode',
    'sphinx_rtd_theme',
]


lxml-6.1.0$ grep autoapi -r
debian/control:  python3-sphinx-autoapi,
