[debhelper-devel] Bug#740405: dh_compress: skip xhtml compression

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20140228
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi again,

I saw a bug report on apt:
 https://bugs.debian.org/738933

libapt-pkg-doc seems to be fixed but I thought including xhtml as a part
of default exception list may be a reasonable thing.

See attached patch.

I think we should make exceptions to compressed zip/gz/xz files and html
files following our tradition.  "xhtml" seems to be one which we expect
to more.

Regards,

Osamu

PS: I agree keeping up this exception list is getting too much in some
cases.  Once btrfs-with-compression becomes our default file system, I
think we are better off without explicit compression. I agree with you
leaving bug#584528 (PNG/SVG/...) #593382 (Python source) for now.
