Yeah, this seems reasonable to me. If I understand your
patch correctly it ought to work without breaking
the setup Markus describes, because in that case
'sphinx-build' exists but will fail the test_sphinx_build
step (because it's a Python 2 sphinx-build) and we'll
then move on and use sphinx-build-3.

Patch looks good to me, but you'll need to rebase and update it
to take account of commits 516e8b7d4a and 988ae6c3a7
now in master.
