the dh_compress man page says: By default, dh_compress compresses files that debian pol icy 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, (except the copyright file, .html files, and files that appear to be already compressed based on their extensions), and all changelog files. dh_compress contains the following snippet: (spacing changed) find usr/doc usr/share/doc -type f \\( -size +4k -or -name "changelog*" \\) \\ \\( -name changelog.html -or ! -iname "*.htm*" \ so i would venture to guess that the .html files are already skipped, and you need not do anything additional. -john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
