This is something I would like to do and would have done except
generating qpdf document requires newer versions of sphinx and
sphinx_rtd_theme than are present in debian at the moment as well as
in Ubuntu versions that I support through my ppa, so building the
documentation from source and following the policy regarding shared
javascript doesn't work within the debian packaging ecosystem at this
time. This is most likely a problem that will solve itself if I wait
long enough. Alternatively, I may be able to go back to packaging a
pre-built PDF version of the documentation.

In the meantime, I would refer you to the
/usr/share/doc/qpdf/README-doc.txt which includes instructions on how
to download offline documentation. I suppose another option would be
to follow the lead of the DVD Codec people and provide a script that
would download the offline documentation. I'm open to other
suggestions.

P.S. I feel honored to have randomly gotten a bug whose number ends
with 4 consecutive pi digits that fall so early in pi.
