Hi Paul

I've tried to analyze the issue and it looks like there are 2 issues:
1) the broken link is indeed not needed for Debian as it is MacOs
specific.
2) However there is a real issue here as the lhelp program is not
packaged. The lhelp is compiled but never installed and during the build
that link is correct, but then becomes broken because the lhelp is
cleaned.

there is a components/chmhelp/README.txt that explains what is lhel (a
native pascal .chm reader) and how to use it. We need to fix that.

Cheers,
Abou Al Montacir
