Package: nd
Version: 0.8.2-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

NEWS is listed in debian/docs so dh_installdocs gzips and
installs it - despite the fact it's currently 0 bytes big.

"zless" seems to get confused with such files and spouts
garbage at stdin. So it'd be preferable to not install this
file until it is useful.

Don't install the NEWS file (compressed or otherwise) -- at
the moment, it is 0 bytes big.
