This was disabled back in 2009:

yelp (2.26.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * 04_use_doc-base.patch: disable for now, it’s really too slow to be 
    usable. Furthermore, documents are not classified.
  * Stop recommending doc-base.

The performance issue is still here, we need to wait for yelp 3.0 for it
to be solved. The classification issue is still here: completely random
and mostly useless documents appear more prominently than the core GUI
documentation, and this is not acceptable.
