If you install htdig, does it work? Even with htdig installed, I can't get
KHelpCenter to actually index the handbooks, though it tells me that it
succeeded. A quick google revealed a large number of people with similar
problems. See KDE bug #102912 and Gentoo bug #89515 for a sample.

Unless there is some trick I'm missing, I suspect that this feature is
simply broken, or at least unsupported by Debian's htdig.
