It seems that dh_compress is responsible for the compression. However,
if I switch this off with the rule
override_dh_compress:
dh_compress -Xchangelog.html
lintian complains with the error "changelog-file-not-compressed".
So, do I have now the choice between a broken link in the HTML
documentation and a policy violation? Which one should I choose?
Policy §12.7 says that the changelog files “should be installed
compressed using ‘gzip -9’, as they will become large with time even if
they start out small.” I don't think that the size argument is really
relevant when the documentation is in a separate package (or in a -dev
package).
For my packages, I chose to ignore this Policy requirement when it stood
in my way.
