Bug#433502: eclipse: missing doc/help files

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.2-2
Severity: normal

I installed the "eclipse" package with all its dependencies.
After that, if I select "Help -> Help Contents" I get a
"documentation is not installed" error.

If I also install eclipse-cdt, the CDT help _is_ available.

Odd: I looked at the "list of files" on the package page
(http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/eclipse-pde),
and it includes
usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user_3.2.1.v20060816-0800.jar.
However, if I look at the downloaded .deb with dpkg -c, this
file is not part of the package. Also, if I download the .deb
manually from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/eclipse/eclipse-pde_3.2.2-2_i386.deb,
the doc jar is missing. (I usually use ftp.de.debian.org.)
(I havent checked the other eclipse packages.)

Seems the package page shows the old 3.2.1 file list, and the
3.2.2 package is missing the files.


Thanks,
Johannes
