So, online help is *clearly* an optional desktop feature. People
using systems with limited disk space, like the OLPC users, will
want to remove it.
So, then, every package should package *-help separately,
and if you want to actually have online help, you need to become
superuser and install it? That's a horrible user experience.
I have not suggested packaging the help files separately.
It's easy to avoid installing them with --excludedocs anyway.
Frankly, it seems all the kvetching here is 'yelp is bloated
because it pulls in firefox'. Which is completely orthogonal
to the packaging of help - if the viewer is a pig, fix the viewer,
don't remove all the apps.
Then why not just drop the few explicit dependencies on
yelp so it can be uninstalled? It could still be listed
as a default install in comps.
