FWIW, I don't get this warning with the stock Ubuntu
1.6.7. The only time I did see it was when I'd managed
to accidentally install half of Sphinx 3 to my ~/.local

upgraded docutils or some other weird combo.

I think that what we actually care about is the usual thing:
do we build OK with the version of sphinx-build shipped by
every distro on our support list?
