I don't think it worthwhile to make submenus with just two entries.
It still makes the help menu two entries shorter. That is significant compared to our short memory span which is often said to have a capacity of 5-9 entries.

- Move "Find Emacs Packages" to under "Search Documentation"

Does not belong there.
Maybe you are right, but is it not documentation you are searching for in "Find Emacs Packages"?

Another complaint was that the manual is not easily available in
HTML which is the "standard" today. Could perhaps the Emacs Info
node start with a link to a description of how to get the manual in
HTML format?

Not a good idea since the navigation in HTML is much worse than in
info-mode.
Maybe not for a novice?
