[debhelper-devel] Bug#789153: Exclude .devhelp2 files from being compressed

[Michael Biebl]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20150507
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

gtkdoc reads the .devhelp2 files to create proper cross-references in
the HTML documentation. Compressing those files breaks this since gtkdoc
does not support reading compressed files.

Since those .devhelp2 files are usually rather small and only installed
on developer machines, the space saveings are not worth it.

Thus exclude the files from being compressed by dh_compress.
