Except that I don't have an index.txt file.  It kind of doesn't make sense.  I
use buildout and have this in my buildout.cfg:

[docs]
recipe = z3c.recipe.sphinxdoc
eggs = mailman [docs]
index-doc = docs/README
default.css =
layout.html =
extensions = sphinxconf

So what I end up doing is symlinking index.html to README.html before I
upload.

That's a good question!  Maybe it's a buildout or recipe issue?
