Right, I tested it.

Cool, missed that detail before. :)

As regards gnome-initial-setup, it's a design matter a bit beyond the
docs internals, and I would suggest a separate thread about it on the
ubuntu-desktop mailing list.
Ubuntu MATE has something along those lines, and if we keep lightdm, it
can be worth mentioning that they show a customized first page in the
guest session.

Something like that. I'd like to make a serious attempt to fork the
.page files from a suitable version (which version is that?) of GNOME
Help, identify the Ubuntu specific pages which would make sense to keep,
and integrate them in the structure.

Title:
please move ubuntu-help/ to gnome-help/
Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
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-gnome-desktop because of LP: #1686257 )
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.
