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?
Best
