*sigh* I'd reopened and reassiged it if I were you. Not doing that now myself because there is also a sponsorship request for cdist at https://bugs.debian.org/837319 which will solve this anyways. Dmitry: Will have a look at #837319. :-) > While on it I'd investigate why it has such particular needs of a so > weird depdency. That's something the sphinx maintainers should have a look at it as they seem to have decided that it's needed, otherwise they probably wouldn't have made the effort to implement it. Since not every sphinx reverse dependency which uses ${sphinxdoc:Depends} (about 527 source packages in unstable according to [1]) seems to have that rather strict dependency (thanks to Mattia for pointing that out on IRC :-), I wonder what makes cdist's package build causing that strict dependency.
