This is a problem specific to Kubuntu and nobody has, as of yet, 
addressed it. The solution is not difficult:
$ sudo su -
# cd /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc
# rm -rf css*
# rm -rf html*
# rm -rf php*
# rm -rf docbook*
# ^D
$

Open quanta and then right click in the documentation panel.  Click on 
"Download Documentation". Select the doc's that are interesting to you 
and install them. Non of the documentation is signed with a key so you 
will get a warning.  You can accept the warning or not it is up to you. 
If you want the documentation you will have to accept.

Now you have documentation.

P.S. If you are not comfortable removing the files you can move the 
instead.
eg:
...
...
# mkdir /home/me/quantadoc
# mv css* /home/me/quantadoc
...
...

Sometimes I wonder.  Were our faith able to stand upright and look around, would it be looking down at the mustard seed or standing in awe of the height and breadth of it.
