Section 12.4 of Debian policy says that if we can provide documentation in HTML, we should do this. As I understand, the txt files are part of the html (there are links pointing to the txt, as you said). If we want a fully functional HTML documentation, we need the txt files uncompressed. Section 12.4 is not clear about compressing files that are needed by the HTMLs, but I would let it uncompressed. It's better in my opinion. Maybe include an explanation on README.Debian, saying why the files are not compressed, but I don't know if it's necessary. But in short, don't compress. It is better to end users. Nelson
