Because help on a *package* (help(package=fCalendar)) shows a text 
representation containing well formatted information from the files 
DESCRIPTION and Index of a package. This is not converted to ANY other 
help format.

Help on a *function* (help(CalendarData, package=fCalendar)) CAN be 
converted to chm, and this happens for CRAN binary packages for Windows.
