> Commit aba567338b25 ("Documentation: Move all dependencies into
> features") did an incomplete migration of the documentation boolean
> option into a documentation feature.
> 
> If sphinx-build-3 binary is found on the host system, the documentation
> is built, regardless of the value of the feature option.
> 
> This makes sure that sphinx-build-3 presence is only checked if the
> documentation feature is not disabled (which is the default, as it's
> "auto" by default).
> 
> This is essential for reproducibility for build systems where
> sphinx-build-3 may or may not be present when libcamera is built, and
> also to declutter the generated package if documentation isn't desired.
