This would be possible by modifying help() to look in both,
<jed-library-path> and <jed-library-path>/hlp for the file to display.

Still, I wonder whether it is worth the effort. It complicates things (at
least for the non Debian user that has to set up the dir and move the files)

Also, if we want to go this way, we should consider moving the online
help libfuns.txt into a subdir as well, so maybe "site-lib/doc/" would be
more appropriate.

Because this is what site-lib was invented for.

So in case of name conflicts, should jed-extra or site-lib take
precedence? When evaluating a file, the order of <jed-library-path>
determines which file is chosen -- such hidden conficts might be
harder to find and solve.

No problem here (Slang 1.4.9 , jed 0.99-16)

I cant tell the reason for these Duplicate Definition either. Maybe
you should try with a recent version of bufutils (1.8.2) and possibly
also sl_utils (1.5.2)?
