I've updated the debian package for libzeep. There's a change in the 
SONAME so it has to go through new.

The package contains the new code for libzeep 6 as well as new 
documentation. I used to use the boost docbook tools but those cause a 
few problems and besides, every kid on the block is moving towards 
Sphinx and ReadTheDocs these days. As an old man I like to pretend I'm 
hip as well.

Anyway, using sphinx introduces a lot of lintian warnings. Mostly 
related to the fact that sphinx documentation installs its own copy of 
jquery and a couple of fonts. My guess is that more packages in debian 
use sphinx so before I start to work around this I'd like to know if 
others have solved this 'problem' already. Or should I simply ignore the 
warnings?

Another problem with my package is that the reprotest fails on salsa. 
The actual error it stumbles upon has to do with locales. It seems that 
something is fishy with the installation of locales on the machine where 
the tests run. The test code tries to create a locale namen nl_NL.UTF-8 
and then checks if the name of the result is the same as the name 
requested to be sure it really got the correct locale. That check should 
not be required since if that locale is not installed, the C++ standard 
says an exception should be thrown but that doesn't happen, sometimes, 
recently, on Debian. I can skip those tests, but I'd like to know why 
they are failing. Not sure who to contact for this.

A review of the current package of libzeep at salsa would also be very 
much appreciated.
