Public bug reported:
The search interface to locally installed python-3.10-doc (and probably
other versions) fails to work in Firefox.
To reproduce, attempt to search from this page (or the search bar on
other pages):
file:///usr/share/doc/python3.10/html/search.html
The reason for this is the jquery.js and underscore.js files are
symlinks to files under /usr/share/javascript/, and Firefox won't follow
them.
Replacing the symlinks with copies fixes the problem, in the short term
at least.
This could presumably be fixed in the python packages by removing the
parts of debian/rules that make these into symlinks in the first place.
Having a locally searchable copy of the documentation is useful when
there is no network.
