* Where to send patches?

* Is manual.cls a part of Sphinx or or Python?

  (I find it in both, 
  
    /usr/lib/python2.5/doc/texinputs/manual.cls
    /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sphinx/texinputs/manual.cls

  )
  
* Who could decide to change the name to be more specific
  (python-manual.cls, say).

Fine. So I am looking forward to see a "documentclass" config setting
similar to what we have in Docutils' rst2latex:

--documentclass=DOCUMENTCLASS
                        Specify documentclass.  Default is "article".

This could be supplemented with a "stylesheet" setting:

--stylesheet=<file[,file2, ...]> Specify comma separated list of 
                        LaTeX packages/stylesheets.  
                        A style is referenced with \usepackage if 
                        extension is ".sty" or omitted and with \input else.
