So this is not the complete solution, ie. the appl. still passes the old
default?

Ah comparing with another package, the problem is now that it installs
/ and it should be
/ (uncompressed).

I have `$ cat debian/kmplayer-doc.install`
*

for the doc files. Howto tell dpkg to not compress the docbook?

Unknown, but it should (they all should) in fact be installing an
index.cache.bz2 and an index.docbook, and using the index.cache.bz2 in
khelpcenter.

I've done just that to create Debian packages for KAlarm in its standalone
version. Download the source from the address below and look in its debian
directory.

Cheers,

What should I see, nothing that points to compressed docbook or not.

I've retried to build everything with admin from 3.3 branch but that
doesn't change anything.
Seems that debian/sarge has all docbooks for kde uncompressed, eg see

for kmix's.
Like mentioned helpcenter shipped with debian/sarge reports an error
when there is no index.docbook (and ignores the index.docbook.gz one)

Why not use an uncompressed docbook from the start? It will get compressed
when you compress the package for distribution, so I don't see any advantage
in having it compressed before you package the app.

Yeah well, that was my question. Why and how does it get compressed and
how to prevent it. Note, I'm not making the deb files manually, they are
created by the scripts and the docbook ends up compressed.

I feel a bit silly I asked this, should have figured this out myself.
Just though, as probably more people build for sarge, this is already
figured out by others, saving me time to do this.

The docbook doesn't get compressed in the KAlarm package. Try looking at its
configuration.
