This problem is due to some extent to the fact that the docs get
packaged and uploaded right at the end of the release cycle. In fact,
they are still only just in Breezy (/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-docs) but are
not yet appearing when you click on the Help icon because we still have
some things to sort out in the packaging.

If there is a consistent methodology adopted for packaging from now on,
it should be possible to get WorkInProgress documentation into the
distribution at an earlier stage, thus alleviating this problem.

As far as giving the translators time, I already think that they will
not have very long to get things ready for release!
