Bug Description

How to reproduce:
Open in a browser: file:///usr/share/doc/python/html/search.html?q=unittest, no search results are displayed.

How to fix:
The link target /usr/share/doc/python/html/_static/underscore.js -> ../../../../javascript/underscore/jquery.js does not exist, it should point to ../../../../javascript/underscore/underscore.js. /usr/share/javascript/underscore/underscore.js is contained in package libjs-underscore, so python2.7-doc should have a dependency to that package.

Here is a patch:

Thanks for looking at this bug.

I still see this in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/quantal/python2.7/quantal/view/head:/debian/rules:

> /usr/share/javascript/underscore/jquery.js \
> /usr/share/doc/$(p_base)/html/_static/underscore.js

Is it really fixed? BTW, is there any reason for not using dh_sphinxdoc (which does all such linking automatically)?
