Bug Description
For Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier, we patched several (but not all) GNOME apps to show help:ubuntu-help when run in Unity but still show help:gnome-help when run in GNOME.
That won't work anymore with 17.10.
Test Case
---------
You can see this by installing gnome-shell then logging into GNOME. (It's probably easiest to choose lightdm if asked unless you install ubuntu-
Open the Help app. It should display either Ubuntu's Help or GNOME's Help but it instead loads the All Help page because it can't find help:gnome-help.
Easy Suggested Fix
------------------
bzr mv ubuntu-help gnome-help
Be sure to set Conflicts: gnome-user-guide
Then we probably need to change all the places that point to help:ubuntu-help to point to help:gnome-help unless someone really wants to maintain a Unity Help Guide.
Alternate Suggested Fix
-------
We could just install gnome-user-guide instead of ubuntu-docs.
Depending on how much customization is wanted, you could fork gnome-user-guide later.
And update help:ubuntu-help links to help:gnome-help like in the previous fix.
Later
----
I think we'll eventually want a transitional package once we figure out what package name we're going to stick with.

Hi Jeremy,
I saw your upload at
https:/ /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ gnome-control- center/ 1:3.24. 1-0ubuntu3
Thanks for making it easier to first try to maintain the ubuntu-docs branch.
I think the changes I uploaded address this bug. So far I have assumed that we keep the translation domain "ubuntu-help", and I suppose that there is no problem to keep "ubuntu-help" in the URL at help.ubuntu.com if that's what we want.
The package does not conflict to gnome-getting- started- docs - I assume they can well co-exist, and that we have the option to integrate gnome-getting- started- docs in ubuntu-docs in the same manner as it's currently integrated in gnome-user-guide.
There are quite a few things I'm not sure of at this time. Hopefully we'll be able to sort them out in a sensible manner. As a last resort I suppose it wouldn't be very difficult to switch to gnome-user-guide late in the cycle.
