The man page is correct, it states: "By default...". If you override it,
the default will not be used.

I would suggest one of the following:
1) Disable dh_compress, but do compress d/changelog:
override_dh_compress-indep:
dh_compress debian/$packagename/usr/share/doc/changelog*
2) Use a better exclude mechanism
override_dh_compress-indep:
dh_compress -X*/examples/*
I have not tested either option, but both should work with just a little
bit of modification, would I remember the syntax wrongly.
