Dear Jakub,

Thank you for a lovely dh_sphinxdoc helper that you've made.

Let me share one little improvement suggestion with you.

Recently I was packaging a software installing different sphinx-generated 
translations to /usr/share/{packagename}/help/{cs,en,fr,ja}

I've noticed that even if I pass "usr/share/{packagename}/help" as argument to 
dh_sphinxdoc it can't find documentation so I have to pass 
"usr/share/{packagename}/help/{lang}" as many times as I have translations to 
process.

At the moment to avoid passing multiple arguments to dh_sphinxdoc I've changed 
location for docs files to "usr/share/doc/{packagename}/help" where 
dh_sphinxdoc found all the translations automatically without any additional 
arguments.

Perhaps you would agree that it is a bit inconvenient to change docs install 
location together with introducing a compatibility symlink just to overcome 
this little limitation in dh_sphinxdoc.

I hope it will be relatively easy to add support for recursive processing of 
"usr/share/{packagename}" locations (if given as argument to dh_sphinxdoc), 
similar to how "usr/share/doc/{packagename}" locations are being scanned.

Thank you.

Regards,
Dmitry.
