Index for appendix used to be A.1, A.1.1, ... but now A is missing.
(This may be more issue with singlehtml )
This needs to be addressed some day.

Also, debian/tocsubstvars needs to be updated to match this.

I also think it is better to drop "*" but keep chapter index.

hi,

some updates on this bug:

- the issue seems to have nothing to do with the single page html format,
  it's also present in the multi page html version, and the cause seems
  to be https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/6614
- the issue is visible annoying in the generated package descriptions.
- the issue is less annoying in the HTML and epub versions, because there's
  the word 'appendix' prefacing the numbers.
- the issue is migated in the PDF version, where it's just chapter 9.
