Without any problems: install a non unix/linux operating
system and use netscape or another browser. How can you
read these documents? -> This is a bug.

This is not a topic of the policy. With the same arguments
you could compress compiled programs.

Some netscape installation (even under Linux) have got problems
with these files. And of course thereīre other browsers.

No I donīt say that. But compressed HTML files are as broken
as gzip compressed jpeg/gif files produced by programs like
debmaker and debhelper.

Why? I donīt like broken packages like your.

And itīs one tiny little configuration file for dhelp or
doc-base or dwww. Whereīs the problem to add such a small file?
HTML is Debianīs documentation format, so please make it
readable. Thank you.
