Oops... I found the mailing list thread and there was a conclusion.
Packages should not require yelp.  Instead, packages that fail silently
when yelp is not installed need a bug to print the error dialog returned
from the gnome API.

So it seems like filesystem owning /usr/share/gnome/help would be the
best so that we don't need to have every package own /usr/share/gnome/help.
