Can someone tell me what package should own /usr/share/gnome/help, or if individual packages placing files there should own it? The latter seems to be the case, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Is there any reason why /usr/share/gnome/help shouldn't just be owned by filesystem? It already owns /usr/share/gnome.
yelp owns it. There's a question of whether packages which have gnome help should Require yelp or not. I think it's a bug if a package has a help menu that doesn't work so I lean towards requiring it. Others think help should be optional (like man pages and other documentation).
If yelp is not Required, then filesystem should own /usr/share/gnome/help. If yelp is required, the filesystem ownership will do no harm.
Actually, it seems that several other packages own /usr/share/gnome too, which probably begs for some bugs to be filed.
