Hi Mauro,

Please calm down.
Apologizes if my wording has annoyed you.

Of course not, I'm well aware of the fact from the cover letter.

I couldn't reproduce it at PATCH 4/11 under a Ubnutu-based container
I've been using, ignoring your sphinx-build-warpper series.

I'd really like to see the issue with my eyes on top current way of
doc building!

That's all I am asking.

I have no particular interest in the way you are testing all those
variety of distros, and have no idea about it.

Please provide steps to reproduce.
I'd like to see a Dockerfile based "FROM ubuntu:latest" as the testing
environment.

I suspect you have encountered some issue due to some missing package/
setting in the container container side.

Or does the issue only appear when you run the script directly?

Of course, there always is a chance I might be missing something
important.

Regards,
Akira
