That's exactly what I meant by "pre-built by upstream". We currently
*do* have separate HTML doc packages, built for each release; cf.
http://docs.scipy.org/
In the future, we can ship the HTML doc packages in the same place as
the source packages, so that they are easier to discover.

@Ralf or someone else with sourceforge permissions: would you mind
uploading
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.5.x/numpy-html.zip
as numpy-doc-1.5.1.zip (or .tar.gz) on sourceforge?
