[Needs Packaging] Please package gnome-getting-started-docs and gnome-initial-setup

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

Please package gnome-getting-started-docs and gnome-initial-setup:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-getting-started-docs/
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-initial-setup/

gnome-getting-started-docs package contains a very intuitive 'Getting Started' guide (with video guides), that can be viewed with Yelp. It is normally used together with gnome-initial-setup, but is also very useful as tutorial and 'users guide' for new (or not experienced) users.

I think Ubuntu GNOME Remix should include these packages as default, because they are very important for most users - GNOME Shell is too different from other desktop environments and most users needs simple training tutorial.

gnome-initial-setup is available in Ubuntu 16.10; in fact it's included in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10. gnome-getting-started was packaged earlier. (Please file separate bugs next time!)
