would be applied to other texlive -doc packages, too)

Hi,

Many, many tex files are compressed.

And for xsl, xml, py, ltx, bib, dtx, sh, sty, Makefile, dvi, cls,
xls, xlsx, eps... too.

So question, are those compressed files are really okay to be compressed?
If not, we should set "dh_compress -X" for those files. If it is intended
and okay, please close this bug post.

Hi Hideki,

What do you mean with "ok"? They are not meant to be run, and they
are often not very useful or only useful during unpacking or building
the documentation.

What win do you see when all these files are unpacked?
