Why would someone need this? I mean, manpages and info docs can be
gzipped without problems (the "viewers" can uncompress the files
on-the-fly) and gunzip is quite fast so I don't see why someone would like
to install the uncompressed.
But if there are reasons, this could be implemented easily, I think.
Thanks,
