At least in my OpenSuse 11.2, there is no separate documentation 
package for digikam and when calling up the help/documentation menu, 
it calls up the kde help centerr with the info that index.html wasn't 
found.
Would be nice if following your instructions would be all - I never 
had a documentation for digikam. I guess that's a problem of the 
distro, but it wouldn't be a problem if the docs were included in the 
main package.
I agree that because it's software that many help develop in their 
free time without any remuneration, the documentation part suffers 
because functionality and bug fixing is in first place. I know that 
also from my part of programming. But this seems to me a simple thing 
to do with not much effort involved. Separating documentation and the 
main program obviously causes some trouble to some distro-packagers, 
which can be avoided. Nobody (or at least not many) cares about 
package size nowadays.

Thanks to all developers for their efforts and time in producing such 
a great piece of software!
