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.
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.
