[Bug 1056103] Re: no docs package / html docs

[Sean Channel]

Sage, thank you much for your comment (#4).  Tv, thanks for guidance and
letting me play along.

The ceph build already separates the main build from docs, and the
requirements for building are already quite substantial, so if someone
is up to the task of building deb packages on their own then they're up
to dealing with the docs. I speculate it may be worth investigating if
there are more current alternatives to the custom mods required for
sphinx if that is the only roadblock.

Far be it for me to say that you must ship docs, however, it may be
preferable to drive that traffic through the web site, which has the
advantage of incorporating community updates more frequently, and I
totally support that idea.

Since you don't really want another makefile and don't need another
script to build docs, I suggest adding it to the main package build if
they're going to ship at all, or let's close this issue and stick with
the web site.

I count only two truly great solutions in any category that exist right
now, and one is ceph. You have my allegiance.
