I discussed this in the Ubuntu MOTU IRC channel (assuming there are
some people who know about both Debian and Ubuntu buildd).[1] I was
told that
ideally I should have 'make doc' target called from build-indep, but
this doesn't work in practice as dpkg-buildpackage always calls both
build-arch and build-indep targets.
So I tried following Steve Langasek's suggestion of adding 'make doc'
in binary-indep. But then the screenshots generated are somehow ugly
for reason that I don't know.[2]
I agree that this is more of a hack than a solution. But this is the
best I have got considering that I have to find a common solution
which will work on both Debian as well as Ubuntu buildd.
Meanwhile I will work with upstream to get this working without any
hacks, once I sync up upstream code and start looking into it.
