Some thoughts.
I suspect some FTBFS failures when
the spec file has a files section that
specifies foo.1.gz.
At one point in the past when I took
over some packages I moderned
the spec file, and decided to use
(as I recall) foo.1{,.*}, which should
even support the no compression,
which is, technically, an option last
I looked (a long time ago) but I
would guess there are packages
that use the explicit foo.1.gz in their
spec file (for whatever reason).
That could, of course be addressed
by a request to make the change
to all packagers (maybe even via
PRs), but we all know that will
not work for all packages and
that a PP will end up having to
deal with a number of packages
if the change is applied globally.
