What about a package that _only_ provides gnome help? The system-config-* packages have split out their documentation and I'm reviewing the new packages, but am stuck on this issue.
From my point of view that the help button in the app should work, the new package doesn't need to split out the gnome-help portion as the app would need to require it anyway. And if the app requires it, the app package can also require yelp.
However, maybe we need to decide whether it's okay for the help menu item to "not work". (ATM I believe the app appears to not do anything if yelp is not installed. Not sure what happens if yelp is installed but the help pages are not available.) If others think it's okay for Help to not pop up a help window then the sane thing to me would to move ownership of the directory into filesystem.

This would imply that any package other than yelp or filesystem which owns /usr/share/gnome/help has a bug, I guess. More to file.
Yeah, after we get /usr/share/gnome/help into filesystem.
