I have certainly seen other packages failing to build the documentation
recently. I suspect some of these different packages in the buster/sid builds
are probably related:
[-texlive-base_2018.20190131-1
texlive-binaries_2018.20181218.49446-1
texlive-fonts-recommended_2018.20190131-1
texlive-latex-base_2018.20190131-1
texlive-latex-extra_2018.20190131-1
texlive-latex-recommended_2018.20190131-1

{+texlive-base_2018.20190227-2

texlive-latex-base_2018.20190227-2

texlive-latex-recommended_2018.20190227-2

In any case I haven't investigated further and your change is reasonable, so
I'll unblock it.
