Dear Boyuan,
I am not sure why you are reporting this bug:
1/ dh_compress do not compress files in /usr/share/pari by itself.
2/ debian/rules says explicitely:
find debian/pari-nflistdata/usr/share/pari/nflistdata -type f -size
+4096c \
-execdir gzip --no-name --best {} \;
3/ The program reading this data (which is no yet in Debian by the way) will
uncompress
any .gz file it reads transparently.
Compressing those files saves a lot of diskspace, we should not scare
maintainers away
from compressing files.
