Summary: Docs not installed properly with Ubuntu package

Initial Comment:
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, when puredata is installed with software manager / apt-get, the documentation doesn't seem to be installed correctly. Help -> HTML Manual doesn't do anything, and Help -> About displays an error message box that says:

couldn't open "/usr/lib/puredata/doc/1.manual/1.introduction.txt": no such file or directory
couldn't open "/usr/lib/puredata/doc/1.manual/1.introduction.txt": no such file or directory
    while executing
"open $filename"
    (procedure "menu_aboutpd" line 18)
    invoked from within
"menu_aboutpd"
    invoked from within
".pdwindow.#menubar.#menubar#help invoke active"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]"
    (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuInvoke .pdwindow.#menubar.#menubar#help 1"
    (command bound to event)

Also, I'm not sure if any example files are supposed to be installed but I couldn't find any.

Possibly related, "Test Audio And MIDI..." does nothing when selected.

Unsure which version of PD it is, the about box doesn't display.
