I suspect this is a trivially > easy fix that could even be tagged 'newcomer'. dh_sphinxdoc already exits with status 0 (and a warning) when there is no Sphinx documentation built. I suppose what you really want is a dh sequencer option to not call dh_sphinxdoc when the nodoc profile is active. It is absolutely out of our control, as sphinx packages cannot change debhelper behavior when they are not even installed. Therefore I am reassigning this bug to debhelper. I am also merging it with #836699 because if the proposed idea [1] for fixing it is implemented, you will be able to control activation of dh_sphinxdoc using only build dependencies.
