Sorry, but I had to revert this patch. It was breaking the Debian packaging. If the setup.py installs these files, then our "openshot" Debian package will install these files too. Which then conflicts with our "openshot-docs" package. So... I'm not sure the best way to fix this, so for now, I'm reverting. I'm open to any suggestions though. =)

You should be building multiple (binary/doc) packages out of one source package. With RPMs, you can do just that with a single .spec, and I'm sure a similar thing exists for the Debian packaging system as well.

Yes, our Debian packaging does build 2 binary packages out of our 1 source
package. However, if the "setup.py install" command also installs the help
manual & doc folders, then our binary openshot-docs package has a conflict
with our openshot package.
