Actually, it does. Here is an extract from the qlist for that package:

 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica.afm
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica-Bold.afm
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica-BoldOblique.afm
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica-BoldOblique.pfa
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica-Bold.pfa
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica-Oblique.afm
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica-Oblique.pfa
 /usr/share/htmldoc/fonts/Helvetica.pfa

That would seem to be a particular recension of Helvetica. The one
supplied by htmldoc is the Adobe original. Note that Helvetica is also
called Swiss.
