By default, dh_compress compresses files that debian policy mandates should
be compressed, namely all files in usr/share/info, usr/share/man,
-usr/X11R6/man, files in usr/share/doc that are larger than 4k in size,
+files in usr/share/doc that are larger than 4k in size,
(except the copyright file, .html and .css files, image files, and files
that appear to be already compressed based on their extensions), and all
-changelog files. Plus PCF fonts underneath usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ and
-usr/share/fonts/X11/
+changelog files. Plus PCF fonts underneath usr/share/fonts/X11/
-If a debian/package.compress file exists, the default files are not
-compressed. Instead, the debian/packages.compress is ran as a shell
-script, and all filenames that the shell script outputs will be compressed.
-The shell script will be run from inside the package build directory. Note
-though that using -X is a much better idea in general; you should only use a
-debian/package.compress file if you really need to.
