Merge lp:~ubuntu-mate-dev/yelp/mate-compatibility into lp:~ubuntu-desktop/yelp/ubuntu

[Martin Wimpress ]

mate-user-guide requires Yelp. Yelp recommends gnome-user-guide, so Ubuntu MATE ends up with gnome-user-guide being pointlessly installed.

Xubuntu seed Yelp and don't require gnome-user-guide nor mate-user-guide. This merge proposal make gnome-user-guide or mate-user-guide Suggests to prevent unnecessary installs of either user-guide.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

I just want to mention that the Help button in gnome-disk-utility points to the gnome-user-guide. If MATE provided documentation for that, then maybe it should conditionally point to MATE's documentation when run in MATE. Alternatively, you could ask gnome-disk-utility to ship its own documentation, at least for the benefit of other desktop environments.

The same problem happens if a MATE user installs Nautilus (although MATE uses caja by default as file browser).

$ apt show gnome-user-guide

Download-Size: 2,361 kB

$ apt show ubuntu-docs
Version: 16.04.3
Installed-Size: 67.4 MB
Download-Size: 1,152 kB

Anyway, I'm not blocking this but just wanted you to be aware of this.

Update debian/control.in accordingly.

Martin, please include debian/changelog records in your merges. It's very inconvenient to have to add them, even more so as you don't have a published email address so it's not trivial to make up a real changelog record.
