I'll try to talk with pitti. It turns out that there is already an
open bug against sphinx about this. We're not the only ones running
into it. See bug 480913.

Temporarily, this might not be that big of a deal as we're only
releasing to the PPA. We can just provide our own build of sphinx that
won't be stripped.

Yep. Right now, this is only distributed a daily build and nothing is
particularly stable. We'll need to come up with a release process as
the project grows up either way.
