Bug#528017: yelp: Help -> Contents does not work

Package: yelp
Version: 2.22.1-8+b1
Severity: normal

Running 
env LANG=C yelp &
gives me a yelp window. Now pressing F1 or executing Help->Contens
does not open a contents view but gives a window with the text:

Unable to laod page
The requested URI "gelp:user-guide#yelp" is invalid

And I can only click "Ok" and I'm left with an empty yelp browser
window.

On my system, all dependencies and Recommends for yelp are fulfilled, and 
there is no Suggestion. I ran " apt-cache search yelp" and it returned
only two entries, both of which I have installed:
gnome-doc-utils - Sammlung von Dokumentationsdienstprogrammen für das Gnome-Projekt
yelp - Hilfe-Browser für GNOME 2

So I'm a bit lost where I can get this missing file from.

Also yelp(1) does not give me an indication of where to look for the
mising file(s).

Also /usr/share/doc/yelp/README neither says anything about it.

Please provide the missing page (optionally if necessary). If for some
reson this is not posible at all, then a bandaid would be a replacment
page telling users where and how to get the information (and why it is
not included in the package). But consider that users which are
offline are then unable to access the help (I'm currently in this
situation).
