That is because the icons are meant to be used in `package-menu-mode`,
not in `help-mode` (like `package-menu-mode` menu-bar).

But `package-menu-mode` menu-bar does the same, I don't see the
difference, in my experience, i find it better than first opening the
*Help* buffer and later selecting the package website.
