Lintian tag information: package-contains-python-doctree-file (type: warning)

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package appears to contain a pickled cache of reStructuredText
(*.rst) documentation in a .doctree file.

These are not needed to display the documentation correctly and as they
can contain absolute build paths can affect the reproducibility of the
package.

The easiest way to prevent this is to use the --with=sphinxdoc debhelper
sequence or to add an explicit call to dh_sphinxdoc. This will then
require a dependency on ${sphinxdoc:Depends} for the relevant binary
package.

Either prevent the installation of the .doctree file (or parent doctrees
directory if there is one) or pass the -d option to sphinx-build(1) to
create the caches elsewhere.

For example:

override_dh_auto_build:
dh_auto_build
PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-build -bman docs/ -d debian/doctrees docs/build/html
PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-build -bhtml docs/ -d debian/doctrees docs/build/html

override_dh_auto_clean:
dh_auto_clean
rm -rf debian/doctrees

details.
