Bug Description

Availability
============
Co-maintained with Debian GNOME. Built for all supported architectures.

Changes from Debian:
- Updated to 3.24
- Split translations into separate packages. The appropriate one is installed by language-selector.
- Run dh_install --fail-missing to make sure we don't miss new translations
- Don't run dh_scour since it somehow breaks the video 'thumbnail' svgs.
Although Ubuntu's cdbs runs dh-scour only for packages in main, Ubuntu's gnome-pkg-tools currently runs dh-scour for all packages using dh --with gnome
- Add alternate dependency of ubuntu-docs instead of just gnome-user-guide. (This change will be reverted later since ubuntu-docs now is an addon for gnome-user-guide.)

Rationale
=========
Addon for GNOME User Help. It adds an extra Getting Started section to the User Help. The section includes some short animated videos and simpler quick start help.

If installed, GNOME's Initial Setup utility runs the first time a user logs in. When they finish answering the set up questions, Initial Setup exist and opens the Getting Started Help.

Even if Ubuntu doesn't use GNOME Initial Setup, it might be worth showing the Getting Started help on first login. (Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS does this, because gnome-initial-setup isn't available in 16.04.)

Security
========
Not a security concern. It's just some videos and some Mallard help files (Mallard is an XML format).

Debian packaging uses svn, but we're hoping to convert to git this year (which will allow for Ubuntu branches):

Seems simple enough, given that it's a doc package; and it has a bug subscriber, etc. MIR approved.
