The debian policy enforces that all files under /usr/share/doc bigger than
4kb have to be compressed. So you second approach is not an option.
(And it's not such a big deal since you can see them with zxpdf ;)

I added this text to the manpage:

>>>
Note that some distributors compress this file. zxpdf(1) can be used to
display compressed pdf files.
