[R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu html help pages missing

I don't see any way to install the html help pages for R version 2.7.x 
or 2.6.2 on Ubuntu (Hardy)  without rebuilding.  I don't use html 
myself, but there is a problem when someone else does:

?lm  ## help works
help.start()   ## fires up browser
?lm  ## no longer works becuase it is looking for (missing) html help 
pages to show in browser

I searched for r-doc packages but could not find anything.  Am I 
overlooking anything?
