manpage compression



Hi,

I notice that the debian packages install man pages without
compression.  If I would like to gzip all my man pages to save space,
is there some way ask the install scripts to do so? I cannot just go
in and gzip all the files in my /usr/man directories because:

(1) If all my man pages have .gz suffices, then they won't be
overwritten when I upgrade packages.

(2) There are symbolic links which assume that the man pages are not
compressed.
