On my system (Jaunty), /usr/share/gnome/help/libs is a directory.

This is probably because debian/rules tries to create that directory
while installing documents with commands included below the comment
"Install the documents; skip documents which are less than 75% translated"

In particular, these lines seem responsible to actually create the above directory:
if [ -e $$doc/$$lang/$$doc.xml ]; then \
	mkdir -p debian/ubuntu-docs/usr/share/gnome/help/$$doc/$$lang/; \
	cp $$doc/$$lang/*xml debian/ubuntu-docs/usr/share/gnome/help/$$doc/$$lang/; \
fi
