Same here .. I'am completely confused by distros etc. .. I will never be able to
control that. Thats why I recommend the virtualenv workflow (as I wrote Christoph):

$ sudo apt install python3-virtualenv

To setup up a environment for building htmldocs:

$ python3 -m virtualenv py3env
$ ./py3env/bin/pip install -r ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt

To build htmldocs with:

 $ SPHINXBUILD=./py3env/bin/sphinx-build make htmldocs

If the env is no longer needed:

 $ rm -r py3env

I guess in the version history of docutils ;) .. use workflow above to escape
from distro chaos. Even missing '=' will be OK.
