What on earth makes you think this is valid syntax for a debian/docs
file? By using {,}, you're relying on both a debhelper implementation
detail (that it passes that through a subshell if DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE is
set), and on a bashism, so this is going to fail to work eventually on
your system, and will FTBFS immediatly on any system where /bin/sh !=
bash.

dh_installdocs does not compress anything; dh_compress does. And it does
it for the full contents of /usr/share/doc, excluding some classes of
files, including those <= than 4kb. Which is exactly the size of
vertical.txt in cjk 4.7.0+git20080122.
So there's no debhelper bug here, but please fix your package and don't
try to make up file formats and expect them to keep working in the furture...
