Bug Description

Just encounter test failures while running the final selftest for 2.5.0.

It seems that a native texinfo builder is now supported by sphinx.

We should evaluate whether the native plugin provide better support than our alpha quality one and act accordingly.

Note that since we still haven't switch to sphinx for our official doc builds this shouldn't be a blocker either. The test failures should only be encountered where a recent sphinx is installed which means pqm and buildds should be safe.

This is a blocker for uploading to Ubuntu. It's not really urgent as I
guess I could add a patch to disable sphinx altogether?

We have sphinx as a dep for debian/ubuntu ? If yes, then disabling the tests is the way to unblock, pqm didn't complain and I only got this today for the first time so I was suspecting a *very* recent sphinx upload, I may be wrong.

I left a debug statement in the texinfo builder while diagnosing the issue and it found its way in the 2.5.0 tarball :-(

I can think of only two cases where this will trigger:

1) trying to use the texinfo builder (no big deal, even where we use sphinx we don't use the texinfo builder in any production script I know about)

2) When running the full test suite where sphinx is installed which is already this bug.

I'm landing the removal of the offending statement in lp:bzr/2.5
