You're only installing one version of the documentation, though.
Correct?

If so, this package is not a good place to do the test you describe.

That isn't a good fit for “build the documentation”. It also does not
explain why you try to do it with every interpreter.

You can start with the tests I have in ‘python-coverage’
<URL:https://sources.debian.net/src/python-coverage/4.2%2Bdfsg.1-1/debian/tests/>
which allows you to specify the module names to test.
