  # apt install coreboot-utils-doc
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree... Done
  Reading state information... Done
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   coreboot-utils-doc : Depends: sphinx (= 4.5.0-4)
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is because that package has ${sphinxdoc:Built-Using} among its
dependencies.

That substitution variable is intended to be used in Built-Using field of
architecture-dependent packages, NOT in Depends field. For "Architecture: all"
packages it is not needed at all. Please remove it.
