[debhelper-devel] Bug#730483: dh_compress: skip compression for .epub .odt just like .jar .zip

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20131110
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

In documentation directory, we expect files in:
 * oasis.opendocument.text with .odt
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument
 * OEBPS Container Format  with .epub
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB

Both are compressed in the ZIP format just like .zip and .jar .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_(file_format)

We should skip compressing them with dh_compress.

As I was making patch, I realized .css is excluded.  Though .htaccess is
usually less than 4k, I wonder why not exclude .htaccess too.

Also, other OpenDocument files are in zip format. Notably, .odg (draw)
and .odp (presentation) .

Patch is to address all these.  Even if you wish to cut down this list,
.epub and .odt must be excluded from the compression.

(For now, I have -X in my source and filed Bug#730370 for live-manual)
