** Description changed:
In a fresh Ubuntu installation, the Gimp is installed, but the help files are
not installed for it. This causes some confusion when the users select help
from the menu expecting there to be help available, only to find that it is
missing. To get the help files,
The problem is that we do not add the gimp help to language-support-en,
since this package should get to the CDs. If we would drop language-
support-en from the CDs and only ship a subset, we could add more useful
packages to l-s-en.
** Changed in: language-support-en (Ubuntu)

I recently installed Gutsy. When I booted to the system after
installation and went to systemadministrationlanguage support, it
immideatelly showed a dialog that there are packages missing for
complete language support (english) adn offered me to install these two:
openoffice.org-help-en-gb
Feisty CDs are overflowing already.

I also think it is pretty confusing not to have help files. The user is
told by gimp to install them, but it is nuissance and help is essential,
IMHO.
