To echo the discussion we just had on the community concall, Ted tried
following the installation instructions in
./Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst, which created a python virtualenv
and installed sphinx 1.4.9.  The build failed with some complaints about
column size or something.

I stated that I'd simply built the documentation with the python3-sphinx
1.6.7 packages in Ubuntu 18.04 and they built fine.  I later tried the
python3-sphinx 1.3.6 packages in Ubuntu 16.04 and that also built fine,
so I'll try following the same instructions that Ted did to see what
happens.  Ted said he'd try the 1.7.5 packages in Debian testing.

FWIW the link above is the output from the 1.6.7 packages on Ubuntu,
having run 'apt install python3-sphinx python3-sphinx-rtd-theme' and
'make htmldocs'.
