Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.37.2
Severity: normal
A compressed PDF file can't be displayed with most tools (xpdf,
evince, gpdf, kpdf), and an ordinary user can't uncompress it in
place, so must copy it somewhere else then uncompress there, wasting
disk space on an extra copy.
Also, since a PDF is already compressed, gzip does not shink it much.
I propose to add .pdf to the list of file extensions to be ignored by
dh_compress.
