Package: claws-mail-tools
Version: 3.9.0-1
Severity: normal
Currently, scripts such as /usr/share/doc/claws-mail/tools/fix_date.sh.gz
are compressed, which makes it impossible to use them as is without
decompressing prior to that. Please add /usr/share/doc/claws-mail/tools/
to the -X of dh_compress. Thanks.

Policy ยง12.3 doesn't require you to compress example scripts. It's not
plain text documentation, it's sample code.

Don't put random executable scripts into /usr/share/doc then.
