Better, the Apache configuration on ftp-master.debian.org could be fixed
to serve .html.gz files with a Content-Type of text/html and a
Content-Encoding of gzip, which browsers should then cope with.  I've
found that adding:

    RemoveType .gz
    AddEncoding gzip .gz

is sometimes necessary to get Apache to recognize this correctly.
