Do you have /usr/share/vim/vim56/doc/help.txt or
/usr/share/vim/vim56/doc/help.txt.gz on your system?

If you find only help.txt.gz, 

$ zcat help.txt.gz > help.txt 

should fix this.  I vaguely remember it was like this in potato 2.2r2.
If this is same as one I experienced, bug was filed and maintainer
properly fixed it from better approach than above quick fix.

You can install single file from *.deb file if one use mc to open archive.
