Hi Xavier,

next upload will use "alternatives" to provide the simlinks
so depending which version you install the default version is the
highest, but you can modify if needed.

$ alternatives --display sphinx-build
sphinx-build - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.8
/usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.6 - priority 36
/usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.7 - priority 37
/usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.8 - priority 38
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.8.

  $ /usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.8
usage: sphinx-build-3.8 [OPTIONS] SOURCEDIR OUTPUTDIR [FILENAMES...]
sphinx-build-3.8: error: the following arguments are required: 
sourcedir, outputdir, filenames

$ /usr/bin/sphinx-build
usage: sphinx-build [OPTIONS] SOURCEDIR OUTPUTDIR [FILENAMES...]
sphinx-build: error: the following arguments are required: sourcedir, 
outputdir, filenames
