Title:
  don't gzip gtkdoc's devhelp2 files

Status in gtk-doc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am the upstream gtkdoc developer and maintainer and work on
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742404 that will be part of
  the next gtk-doc release. With some luck I noticed that Ubuntu applies
  gzip compression to some of gtkdoc's data files.

  Please don't do this. While I can probably use popen for this case, I
  cannot handle this for all possible cases (e.g. some distro using
  bzip2 instead). These files are only installed on developer machines
  and I don't think the space saving are worth it. I'd believe most
  developers rather get better performance.
