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.

True, only say they should be compressed. Anyway, since they're examples
there's
nothing wrong in compress them to save space as policy recommends.
