I see. I was misled by the fact that latex2html was in main in woody. I
see that latex2html was moved into non-free relatively recently.

One possibility is that you could separate the doc package into
python-pyx-html-doc and python-pyx-pdf-doc, and then put
python-pyx-html-doc in contrib. I don't think you would need to put it in
non-free since it seems to me to satisfy the requirements of
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-contrib.

I wonder how the main python html docs are done. They seem to be in main.
It looks like it is generated using latex2html.

Have you been able to build the html manual? I have tried and failed.
