This implies working upstream on migrating the modules. Also, we could make packages install their help in /usr/share/datatir/gnome-panel/help (eg), instead of /usr/share/gnome/help which is difficult to handle from a package ownership point of view. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305731
