Re: Missing 'sphinx-build' command from python37-sphinx package

[Xavier Delaruelle <xavier.delaruelle@gmail.com>]

If command names are versioned it is important to get a consistent way for
users to install THE package that provides the 'sphinx-build' command (the
one without version reference in the name). Without having to search which
specific package provides this command and without having to update this
package reference when a new minor version of Python is added.
