Yes, this seems to be a sarge-ignore bug.
Possible solutions:
* python-doc is moved to contrib[1] and with HTML actually built from
actual LaTeX source by latex2html (non-free Build-Depends:)
* python-doc is rebuilt from LaTeX source by a DFSG-free LaTeX->HTML
compiler (TeX4ht?)
[1] note that python only Suggests: python-doc, so pythin would stay in
main
