Details:

With the current communications package from
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/communications/, `build html` fails for me
with


Creating package version 1.2.2 release ...
rm -rf communications-1.2.2
hg archive --exclude ".hg*" --exclude Makefile --type files
communications-1.2.2
cd communications-1.2.2/doc && make all

Should the manual in docs/comms.texi even be compiled as part of `build html`?
If so, is the problem likely to be something in my build system?
