Please calm down and read the proposal again. First, nothing in the
proposal is included "just to stop a discussion". Second, files are
installed uncompressed only as default. All packages will support the new
"doc-base" package which will compress all HTML files automatically (even
without asking the user), if the local sysadmin has decided to do so.
I'm currently working on a "Documentation Policy" document. I'll present
it here in a few days. It will include more infos about that.
Thanks,
Chris
