On each screen available, or on each screen you go through? The first
meaning could make for a wearisome test case. I'd rather avoid robot-
like test cases (for humans, not when we automate it) and go with the
second meaning, relying on fuzzy-testing (each person does that a bit
differently) instead.
I was kind of leaving it intentionally vague (hence the 'for a while').
Do it till you get bored. :) I'm fine if you want to propose a tweak,
though.

Sounds good to me.
PS: Originally I wanted to add that I'd also like to extend this to
the installed system, not just installer. In the installed system, it
would cover only the "main help entry", i.e. somewhere in main system
menu. But then I realized we probably already have it covered by
"default application functionality" criterion.
Actually we intentionally took it out; we used to require that all apps
installed by default have a working Help, but it was one of those
polish requirements that seemed too onerous and no-one wanted to spend
their time checking and we'd perennially just waive at Go/No-Go anyway,
so we took it out. Some GNOME apps do not in fact have Help, e.g.
Software.
