Actually it does but Yelp and Devhelp still builds against the classic 
Mozilla suite.

Since Fedora Core packages cannot depend on extras ones, we either need 
to pull in seamonkey into Fedora Core or rebuild Yelp and Devhelp 
against Firefox or XULRunner if we can do it within FC6 timeframe.  I 
will initiate a discussion in fedora-maintainers list. Thanks for the 
pointer.
