With jed-extra from Debian or Ubuntu, you get

/usr/share/jed/jed-extra/drop-in/help.sl

which is the "hyperhelp" mode.
Also, you "automagically" get the set-up for this directory so that files
therein take precedence over the originals.

With "hyperhelp" it is far more easy to navigate around Jed's help and find
out how to manage the library path(s)
