The contents of /usr/share/doc/loki-doc is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 838 2003-04-26 13:13 changelog.Debian.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 1645 2003-04-26 09:18 copyright
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 181100 2003-04-15 13:49 loki_doc.ps.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 32677 2002-11-18 12:05 loki_faq.ps.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 135 2003-04-26 13:12 README.Debian
which is decompressed
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 1684 2003-04-26 13:13 changelog.Debian
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 1645 2003-04-26 09:18 copyright
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 447697 2003-04-15 13:49 loki_doc.ps
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 74190 2002-11-18 12:05 loki_faq.ps
-rw-r--r-- 1 tillea admin 135 2003-04-26 13:12 README.Debian
but I would not regard the decompression into this calculation because it
is installed in compressed form (as policy requests fpr PS documents).
Kind regards
Andreas.
