python-numpy has many reverse dependencies[1] - how about uploading it
to experimental for now? This way you'll have Sphinx 0.5.x available.
If you really want to upload it to unstable, build the docs using Sphinx
from experimental and include them in the upstream source tarball for
now (add ".ds" to upstream version, get-orig-source rule and a
README.Debian-source file in the new tarball explaining that you've
added the docs and how to regenerate it[2])
[1] see `apt-cache rdepends python-numpy`
[2] `./debian/rules get-orig-source`, python-sphinx from experimental installed
