For any files that are installed in /usr/share/doc you cannot assume |
| 10 |
anything about the compression scheme. It also depends on user |
| 11 |
configuration which is not accessible from inside an ebuild. |

If it must be ensured that a file is not being compressed or that a |
| 14 |
certain program for compression is used, then call "docompress -x" for |
| 15 |
that file, and (if necessary) compress it with that program. |
