Bug Description

This is an abbreviated MIR because gnome-user-docs used to be in main (before MIR bugs). It also was basically in Ubuntu 11.04 in the ubuntu-docs package shortly before 11.04 was released. Since then, ubuntu-docs has diverged to be more useful to Unity users, but the Ubuntu Docs Team periodically merged gnome-user-docs improvements.

The current idea for handling Ubuntu user documentation in 17.10 and 18.04 LTS is to ship gnome-user-docs and gnome-getting-started-docs. Some pages may be left out of Ubuntu's gnome-user-docs package and instead shipped in ubuntu-docs. ubuntu-docs will then supplement the GNOME documentation.

This should be easier for docs writers and translators to work with than trying to patch gnome-user-docs or forking gnome-user-docs entirely.

Maintenance
===========
Historically maintained by the Debian GNOME team, but will now be maintained by the Ubuntu Docs team.

Security
========
There should be no security concern here as the package just provides Mallard help files. Mallard is an XML format for help. http://projectmallard.org/

gnome-user-guide was recommended by yelp until you changed that through <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yelp/3.22.0-1ubuntu1>. ;)

Desktop-packages is subscribed, and this is a very simple, straightforward package that was previously in main. MIR approved.

You might want to also subscribe desktop-bugs, since that's what was typically used to catch the bugs filed against desktop packages.
