A good question. I can see that we probably don't want to change the
validate flavour to set BUILD_SPHINX_PDF=YES; afterall, we don't want to
require contributors to install LaTeX just to locally test their
patches. However, perhaps BUILD_SPHINX_PDF ?= NO is a reasonable
trade-off and then override this in the CI configuration.
