Try
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net
There is a package available called newbiedoc but I believe it's
only available in testing.
If you're running stable take a look at the dhelp and dwww
packages which are available in stable.
After you install these packages you may wish to put your
browser start page as (or create a bookmark):
file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html
which is the index to dhelp. I had to do this because just
typing dhelp at the command line didn't work. I believe there
is a missing symlink or something.
Just type dwww at the command line to get dwww.
HTH,
