I could do it myself if the tools needed to build the docs would be available on the starship. Last time I checked, neither Tex nor latex2html were installed.

So, I hereby kindly request: Could the tools to build the Python docs from source please be installed on the starship? OK, I'm installing tetex-base and latex2html now. No guarantees if the version of latex2html in Debian testing will actually work, of course. ;-)

Somehow this seems to have avoided installing some important executables -- like, e.g., "latex". Are there some other packages that need to be installed too?

Cheers, mwh
