You probably want to add something like:
<Directory /doc/texmf/>
Options Indexes Includes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
to your /etc/apache/access.conf file. This will cause both
etex_man.dvi.gz and etex_man.dvi to be returned in uncompressed form.
It has some other minor side effects, so you may want to read up on it
in the documentation. It's findable under "Options" or "Negotiation",
I think and you can probably find it by searching for "MultiViews".

I didn't realize they were particularly compressable until you
mentioned it. I just tried a couple and got about 25%, though. If
you want to fight for it, open a wishlist bug against debian-policy
and submit the proposal to the policy list.
