Hmmm...I don't have html-helper-mode installed, and everything works
fine. Actually, html-helper-mode should only be used by emacs, not
XEmacs21, so I'm surprised you are seeing it at all.

psgml-lucid is in the psgml package:

$ dpkg -S psgml-lucid
psgml: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psgml/psgml-lucid.el

but AFAIK you don't need this to work with XEmacs alone. I'd say
install psgml and remove html-helper-mode. If you get really stuck do
try the debian-emacsen list.

Cheers!
