Dear Maintainer,

After installing IceWM, I was reading through the manpage for icehelp(1) and 
noticed a few of the options don't work. 

Specifically, the options -B, -i, and -s do not work because they are looking 
fot html files that are not installed with the Debian package. Example output:

rkw@debian:~$ icehelp -s
13:33:02.403: icehelp: Invalid path: /usr/share/doc/icewm-common/icesound.1.html
13:33:02.404: icehelp: Path does not refer to a file.

The issue persists as well through the "Start Menu" path of Start > Settings > 
Help > [Icewm(1)|IcewmBg(1)|IceSound(1)]

I tried building icewm from git and installing to /usr/local/ and found that 
the issue did not persist, so I believe there is a situation somewhere in the 
Debian package that prevents the html file versions of the icewm manpages from 
being generated. Building from source creates html files for each of the 
manpages.

I saw the earlier bugs of #793771 and #810286 which seemed to describe a 
similar situation regarding the IceWM manual which has since been resolved.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Thanks for your time in reviewing this report.
