Please drop it. dh_sphinxdoc replaces the JS files with correct symlinks,
so you do not need to care about it.
(It does not replace the images though, but they are few hundred bytes
each, so linking them will not have much sense.)

dh_linktree. Replacing files (images, fonts, ...) with symbolic links
in deduplicate mode.
I could drop it, it would result in increased binary package size and,
what bothers me more, several instances of same file in my /usr.
Sorry, I do not follow very well about situation. I beleive -2
revision should solve issue, isn't it?
