So what you want is something like:
Description: Server-side decompression Apache module for gzipped files
The mod_gunzip Apache module allows you to compress the static content
on your website using gzip. When serving the content, mod_gunzip will
automatically gunzip your file before sending it to the client. This
allows you to save storage space on your web server.
.
If the client's browser can handle gzipped data, it will be not be
uncompressed, thereby saving bandwidth as well.
.
mod_gzip also performs something similar. mod_gunzip has the
advantage of lower latency.
You can also use a similar description for mod_bunzip2, which
I've noticed you've ITPed.
